FBA Podcast: Love and Loss

By Sadayasihi on Sat, 23 Oct, 2021 - 06:00

Parami urges us to embrace loss, because it is inevitable, but equally so, don’t close yourself off to love. Accepting that everything that arises will pass, and yet everything that arises is precious that will give rise to a love that spreads throughout the cosmos.

Talk given at the Newcastle Buddhist Centre, 2021.
