A sutra is within all sentient beings. Any reader who doesn’t look within reads only words. A sutra cannot exist without a teaching, a witness, a time, a speaker, a place, and an audience. It is one of the most ancient of literary forms.

Venus eclipsed our sun in 2004 and will do so again in 2012. This event will not happen again for 130 years. Indigenous cultures across the world understand this eight year opening as a period of intense possibility for manifestation of new directions. These sutras offer a way into that unfolding.
