By upekshapriya on Tue, 30 Aug, 2016 - 20:20

Yashosagar, Vajratara, and Prajnaketu look forward and share their dreams of the future. Re-visiting the perspectives of Sangharakshita’s talk ‘A Blueprint for a New World’ we hear about the wider Dharma vision of Dr. Ambedkar in India, whose emphasis on liberty, equality, and fraternity is more relevant than ever.

Through the twin lenses of diversity and climate change, we hear questioning voices and affirming notions of community-based and personal Dharma practice in a suffering world. The invitation to examine our own perspectives and biases is both essential...

By Centre Team on Fri, 19 Aug, 2016 - 18:00

Here are the new beings introducing themselves, complete with beautiful photographs by Upekshapriya at Clear Vision.
