Suddhaka highlights how the thing we spend the most time doing in our lives, our livelihood, impacts our mental states and is therefore an integral part of the path. How can we make our work an expression of our practice? How can our livelihood be the doorway to true happiness?

Dharmabyte: Shared Values

By Sadayasihi on Mon, 9 Aug, 2021 - 06:00

The idea behind the “Building a Buddhist Business” workshop held recently at the London Buddhist Centre...
