Big One 2019: Preview of Keynote Talk 'Blueprint for New Society'

By Sadayasihi on Sun, 27 Oct, 2019 - 00:15

Moksatara gave a wonderfully inspiring keynote talk on ‘Blueprint for a New Society’ - exploring why we have spiritual community, how we can build it and the effect of having it. She finished her talk with a reminder that we can all be hands or arms of Avalokiteshvara - and we can become friends to the world.

Full Dharma talk to follow soon!
