Mind and Cosmos: Towards a New Buddhist Cosmology (Part 1)

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Thu, 24 Feb, 2022 - 00:00

In this talk (the first in a series of three), Viryadeva attempts to show why an understanding of traditional Buddhist cosmology is key to an understanding of the Buddha's teachings. He also shows how it has direct, practical relevance to urgent contemporary problems.
