The Buddhist Centre

The first in a new occasional series with Parami, one of the most experienced members of the Triratna Buddhist Order and Community. Over the coming months and years, Parami will be joining us for conversation and sharing her generous perspectives on what she encounters during her travels around a contemporary international Buddhist sangha. We'll be hearing from her at home in the UK, as well as on the road from Mexico, Australasia and the U.S. A true Dharma farer, still in love with the Buddha's teaching and the radical vision it represents, Parami introduces herself here by talking about her work and what still animates her in her own practice - a sense that while the world is on fire with suffering the Dharma is a beautiful solution we might all embrace. Recorded live at the Omega Institute, NY, at the International Western Dharma Teachers' Conference.
