From Portsmouth Buddhist Center on Thu, 30 Mar, 2017 - 22:59

Dh. Viriyalila will lead us again this Sunday April 2, 10 AM-12:30 PM. Following a period of meditation, we will continue our exploration of the Buddhist path of spiritual development.  The Buddha taught that things are not as they appear, yet we rely on things to be permanent and substantial.
