Sunday Sangha – 30th July 2023

Ven. Pannavati Bikkhuni

This session is led by Ven. Pannavati Bikkhuni.

Start Time: 11am PT (L.A.) / 2pm ET (N.Y.) / 7pm BST (London) / 8pm CEST (Paris)

Topic: All Worldly Dharma is Buddha Dharma

Nowadays, many Buddhist practitioners have mistaken views. Taking the false to be true, we can make some progress, but not much. Only in the light of wisdom can we awaken to the truth because it allows us to penetrate avidya — the karmic hindrance of non-understanding that is complicating our lives. Join us for a discussion of causes and cures for overcoming non-understanding. The Buddha gave 84,000 methods!

This is session is freely-offered, but dana/donations are invited to help us meet our substantial running costs and to support our teachers. To donate, please click here. We appreciate your generosity 🙏
