Vijayasri - This Precious Human Life

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Sun, 16 Aug, 2015 - 00:00
In this very personal talk Vijayasri remembers being part of a study seminar led by Sangharakshita, in 1982, on The Jewel Ornament of Liberation by Gampopa. Vijayasri talks about the effect being part of the study group has had on her life and explores Gampopas teachings on the importance of a human birth. The talk was given at Croydon Buddhist Centre as part of the regular Saturday Sangha Morning class in August 2015.

A Direct Pointing Summary

From Shabda Articles on Thu, 13 Aug, 2015 - 21:56

And despite not knowing him well, she says that Sangharakshita has changed her life more than anyone else.
