## Resource

(Insight Meditation Community of Richmond) We often hope something outside us will do the purifying for us. The Buddha gently redirects: we need to do the inner work. This talk is based in the Simile of the Cloth sutta (MN7) and explores what that inner purification actually requires, and how wisdom makes it possible.
