Karma, Conditionality and Ethics

From Bristol Buddhist Centre on Thu, 28 Jun, 2012 - 00:00
Lokabandhu explores the Buddhist approach to the three 'big words' of Karma, Conditionality and Ethics, especially looking at their 'near enemies': ways in which we can subtly, but significantly, misunderstand the crucial concepts that lie behind them.

Unconventional

From London Buddhist Centre on Wed, 27 Jun, 2012 - 16:53Buddhism is not about fitting in. The Buddha didn’t fit into the society around him, and neither should we.
