Förändringar i danasystemet

From Orden i Sverige on Thu, 7 Dec, 2017 - 08:36

Kära order,

The 'Trans' Issue

From Threads on Wed, 6 Dec, 2017 - 08:51

When I was a boy I had longings of which I could make no sense. It was only through years of painful struggle and Dharma practice that their significance became clear to me.
