Thank God It's Empty! Falling In Love with a Burning World.

From Birmingham Buddhist Centre on Fri, 28 Jun, 2019 - 01:00
“Thank god it's empty! Falling in love with a burning world”. What memories stay with you year after year? Which breath do you wish you could take again? Whose smile is the most beautiful? What is this love that you talk about? Saraha returns to Birmingham to speak at Sangha Night, having taught the Dharma there previously for over a decade before moving to Ecodharma in Spain a few years ago. In this talk he speaks with his usual passion and inspiration, illuminating many questions for further reflection on what is of value in our lives.

The transformative power of acceptance and love

From Triratna Women on Wed, 26 Jun, 2019 - 13:57

https://www.freebuddhistaudio.com/audio/details?num=LOC3894

In this deeply inspiring conversation Shakyapada discusses her realisation that she is transgender with Vijayasri. They lead us through her life, focussing on her journey towards the Dharma. This has not been an easy path and Shakyapada shares both the difficulties and the good times as they explore the way that acceptance and love have helped her to grow.

This conversation took place at Croydon Buddhist Centre in April 2019 as part of our Saturday Sangha morning series.
