MAPLE tales icon MAPLE Tales

MAPLE Tales are an opportunity for those training at the Monastic Academy for the Preservation of Life on Earth to retell and reflect on a moment of teaching and insight.

The tales describe an unexpected situation, how Head Teacher Soryu Forall responded, and the clarity discovered by the student. They are not concerned with the student's or narrator's opinions and feelings about the teaching.

As students at MAPLE express these teachings, others may be inspired to walk the spiritual path for themselves, live in more ethical ways, shatter the indoctrination of our culture, enter a mind of unimaginable glory, and serve all beings with compassion.
