167: Buddhist Voices - Aryadrishti from Portland, Oregon

In today's podcast we meet Aryadrishti, courageously pioneering with a brand new Buddhist Center in Portland, Oregon, in the far west of the United States. We hear about the challenges she faces in building a community, and some of the innovative ways she's adopted for a very particular kind of American context. Having started out alone this is a great glimpse into the early days of a new sangha and the rewards that come from such strong clarity of purpose and perseverance.

Recorded at Aryaloka Retreat Center, New Hampshire, in September 2014.
