Well, this one might come as a surprise! After reading the news last week and thinking about the news of this week and next, I thought I would try and get a lead on it with two brilliant talks from William Woollard on Negativity and Anger. William reads from his book The Case For Buddhism
I felt both of these chapters would be a compliment to one another and something to hold in mind as we go through these turbulent times. To keep our spirits up, Robin Lukas sings “Smile” from her album Beyond Paradise Edge.
More coming soon! Have an amazing week.

- Connecting our hearts to those around us
- Who was Shiiji Shiro?
- See like Li Lou, hear like Shih K’uang
- Faith rooted in action
- Teaching others about Buddhism
- The voice does the Buddha’s work
- A single sentence or phrase
