This course runs over six Wednesdays 16 June to 21 July, 7-9pm

The Buddha has presented us with an inspiring path to liberation. The key stages on the journey are characterised by a progressive chain of positive mental states, such as bliss and serenity.

Introducing 'I Hear Her Words'

By Windhorse Publi... on Wed, 16 Dec, 2020 - 16:00
