How have the Four Heavenly Messengers led you to the path of the dharma?

In this talk, Bob Stahl shares his own experience with these messengers and how they changed the course of his life in the midst of being a very confused young man without direction.

He encourages us to consider the conditions and events that have appeared in our own lives to shepherd us toward awakening.
