Thank God It's Empty! Falling In Love with a Burning World.

From Birmingham Buddhist Centre on Fri, 28 Jun, 2019 - 00:00
“Thank god it's empty! Falling in love with a burning world”. What memories stay with you year after year? Which breath do you wish you could take again? Whose smile is the most beautiful? What is this love that you talk about? Saraha returns to Birmingham to speak at Sangha Night, having taught the Dharma there previously for over a decade before moving to Ecodharma in Spain a few years ago. In this talk he speaks with his usual passion and inspiration, illuminating many questions for further reflection on what is of value in our lives.
