Dharmabyte: What is the Deathless?

By Sadayasihi on Thu, 4 Jun, 2020 - 14:00

Viveka exploring the theme of racism from the perspective of the Dharma and what the Buddha had to say about complex conditionality. A timely look at understanding - and ultimately undoing - the patterns that lead to prejudice and bias, of all kinds.

The Positive Nidanas - Sources

By Candradasa on Wed, 19 Sep, 2012 - 20:59Tonight at the class, as part of Suddhayu’s excellent series on the Tibetan Wheel of Life, we’ll be exploring the Nidanas somewhat experientially.
