The Wisdom of Words

From London Buddhist Centre on Fri, 20 Jan, 2017 - 00:00
The spiritual community, the Sangha, is the ideal context in which we can practise the Dharma. It is also a force for good in the world and an ideal in its own right. But how is the Sangha sustained?

From Mon 16th January 2017.
