Some will pause before trying to absorb the wisdom of a teacher as young as Bentinho Massaro, as he shares his joyous expression of the great mysteries of life. Many would assume that this task should be left to elder spokespeople, and those with more established lineages. This would be a mistake. Bentinho's vibrant presence immediately strikes your heart, not your intellect: his fresh, clear and totally unique exploration of Truth is simple, direct.

His smile is disarming; there is a direct transmission here-- difficult to explain -- both in his words but also in the silence that punctuates his playful, wondrous examination of the present moment. It's a challenge to describe this phenomenon; most who have visited with him will know exactly what I am referring to. Bentinho sets a leisurely course of examination first of our thoughts, then our feelings and finally, our sensations. As we walk together down this road of self discovery, the transparency of things becomes increasingly evident, until, eventually, the conversation inevitably turns to my favorite topic, "the emptiness of perception". It is here, that we cast aside looking at perceptions "through a thought" and "relax our focus", witnessing the magnificence of "isness," the fabric of everything, the all pervasive fiber of existence -- love itself.

Join us as Bentinho directs our gaze to the other side of the "coin," the awareness which all perceptions continuously point to, the ineffable, cognizing birthing, wonder of being. Chris Hebard
