Giving is a fairly simple thing to do: money to a good cause, time to a friend, food to the hungry, energy to a situation. But sacrificing what you hold most precious – your very own life – is an altogether different giving up. How, and why, would you give your life?

The London Buddhist Centre’s new magazine and programe is now available with information on our forthcoming classes for the new year, and a new suite of articles for the magazine. Vidyadaka writes:

The writers in this second edition of The London Buddhist are exploring views. Manjusiha calls into question the prevalent views of neoliberalism and points out their consequences: gross inequality, segregation, caste and class. What, he asks, is our response to the increasingly divided society in which we...
