“As we search for a meaningful life, we should avoid the mirages in our world that lead to short term fulfillment. Our goal should be to avoid the illusory pleasurable life that leads to despair and melancholy. A life centered on striving toward Absolute Good, leads to fulfillment in an encounter with Absolute Good that gives us that which will ultimately lead to a life of lasting fulfillment and joy.”

(Abbot Tryphon in ‘Morning Offering’)
