The Art of Dreaming

From West London Buddhist Centre on Wed, 3 Apr, 2024 - 12:53

Dreams are for many an overlooked aspect of ourselves. Today’s culture rarely encourages us to give them much attention. However, Buddhism sees dreams as offering an opportunity for spiritual growth and even a path to Enlightenment.
