By nataliak on Sat, 7 Jan, 2023 - 14:48

Attn: Mitras… We have places available on An Ordinary Person’s Guide to Becoming a Bodhisattva, from 27th Jan - 3rd Feb. Led by the experienced team of Maitrisiddhi, Sahajatara and Kusalasara, this is a fabulous opportunity to delve into the rich teachings of the Bodhicaryavatara.
