College of Public Preceptors – ‘At Home for Visitors’

By jyotika on Thu, 21 Mar, 2019 - 16:16

There is a lot of information online these days, but we also really appreciate being able to meet people directly.

You might like to ask us about the College itself, or...

And what can we set up so all our institutions serve the needs of the community and allow a genuine and enduring culture of friendship to flourish?

Join Dassini to talk it all through with Khemadhamma and Ratnajyoti from Australia, and...
