What has Buddhism got to say about the growing levels of inequality in many societies? What would a society based on Buddhist values look like? This talk is Vajragupta's personal response to "The Spirit Level", by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, a book about inequality that made a big impact when it was first published in 2009.

In this talk Padmavajra is introduced to the Croydon Sangha by Amarapuspa. Padmavajra explores the idea of freedom from polarization in an inspiring, wide ranging and very deeply Dharmic talk.

This talk was given at the Croydon Buddhist Centre in January 2019 as part of our regular Saturday morning Sangha class.
