Entertaining Cancer - Croydon Buddhist Centre Booklaunch

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Mon, 14 Mar, 2022 - 00:00
Devamitra in conversation with Vajragupta, launching his new book "Entertaining Cancer". This tells the story of Devamitra's discovery that he has a life-threatening cancer, and the gruelling regime of treatment that ensues. The conversation covers topics such as hope and despair, aliveness and complacency, fear and courage, and the Buddhist view of rebirth. An inspiring evocation of how Dharma practice can help us face challenge and difficulty, and keep initiative.
