Buddhafield eBooks - Akasati: Ecology, Buddhism and Buddhafield, An Introduction

By Candradasa on Thu, 23 May, 2013 - 19:27Well, as expected, the internet gods were (quite properly!) no match for the secret realm where Buddhafield’s Green Earth Awakening Camp is gathering for the weekend Dharma festivities. N.B. It’s not too late to join them!

Buddhism meets low-impact sustainable living in a glorious field in South-West England…
