From Guhyaloka For the Ages on Sun, 16 Aug, 2015 - 19:33

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.

The talk was given at Croydon Buddhist Centre as part of the regular Saturday Sangha Morning class in August 2015.
