Abortion, Peace, And So On

From Threads on Tue, 30 May, 2017 - 22:08

I have never been an admirer of Mother Teresa, but recently I have begun to take her seriously. This has nothing to do with her canonisation.

Can-Can Cancer Dancer — Interview with Devamitra

From Community Highlights on Thu, 8 Feb, 2018 - 11:56

Last summer Charlotte Lawes, a mitra at the LBC, interviewed Devamitra about his ongoing experiences of living with cancer.  Devamitra has been writing a blog called ‘Can Can Cancer Dancer’ initially to ensure that he did not lose touch with a valuable opportunity for Dharmic reflection, but also so that others might benefit from hearing about his experiences.

Archetypal Symbolism, Part 2

From San Francisco Buddhist Center on Mon, 29 May, 2017 - 01:00
The life story of the Buddha is much more than a historical account – it is a poetic myth full of profound meanings that can resonate with both our conscious minds and our unconscious depths.
