Dharmabyte: Face To Face With Reality

By Rijupatha on Mon, 19 May, 2014 - 14:59
In today’s FBA Dharmabyte we bring you “Face To Face With Reality.” Vadanya draws on the Pali Canon and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy to explore how coming face to face with reality is liberating and expansive – but also very uncomfortable for our habitual small self. Our Dharmabyte is just the beginning of the talk, for the rest: “Face to Face with Reality”.

Subhuti - Revering and Relying on the Sangha

By Candradasa on Tue, 26 Feb, 2013 - 03:45
