Turning Obstacles Into the Path: The Great Gathering 30 May - 2 Jun

By Maitrisiddhi on Fri, 12 Jan, 2024 - 10:02

With urgency, humour and passion, Shantideva’s Bodhicaryavatara, ‘Guide to the Bodhisattva Path’ gives us a path of vision and a path of transformation. How can we engage all of ourselves - messy, passionate, loving-hating beings that we are - in the quest for awakening for the sake of all that lives? And how can we turn obstacles into the path itself?

For Dharmacharinis and women training for ordination.

Led by Subhadramati, Maitridevi, Karunadhi, Maitrisiddhi and Mahamani

All proceeds from this event will go to support Tiratanaloka Unlimited.

Come! You...
