"I show up in multiple spaces. I think that comes from this belief, or rather a commitment, to this idea that I just want people to be happy and resourced. That doesn't mean I want people to be Buddhist, it doesn't necessarily mean I want people to be meditators. I want people to have access to the resources they need to be well." – Lama Rod Owens
