Love, Death & Dragons in the Life (and ‘Afterlife’) of the Buddha

Love, Death & Dragons in the Life (and ‘Afterlife’) of the Buddha

If you ever feel that things get too hot to handle, or that events and experiences have a tendency to burn, or that you find yourself confronted by ‘Dragons’ (whether externally or internally) then this might be a helpful talk for you!


Padmasagara will be drawing on eastern and western imaginative traditions and telling stories from the life of the Buddha to illustrate how it’s the power of Love that can help us find fulfillment in a burning world.
