Reverencing the Buddha At the Place of His Enlightenment by Purna

From Buddhist Centre Features on Wed, 7 Feb, 2018 - 07:36

As his contribution to evoking the “lion’s roar” of the Buddha, Purna talks about myth and the importance of reverence in any spiritual life, regardless of temperament.

Recorded at Bodhgaya, India, 2018.
