Women's Sangha Morning Presentation on Prajnaparamita

From Ipswich Buddhist Centre on Fri, 8 May, 2015 - 17:59

During the most recent Women’s Sangha Morning at Ipswich Buddhist Centre, I gave a short personal presentation on my connection with Prajnaparamita which I recorded on my tablet and uploaded to Soundcloud - it’s just a bit of a ramble around the symbology, a bit about the history, and how I came to meet Prajnaparamita.

Ipswich Buddhist Centre celebrated Buddha Day with a day of activities organised in the town’s Christchurch Park. 

The Reg Driver Visitors Centre hosted the event, to celebrate the day on which, over 2,500 years ago, the Buddha gained enlightenment.

There was a good turnout from the sangha, with a beautiful shine which included rupas from many of the sangha members.
