Prasada & Dharmavidya to talk at St James' London

Dharmavidya David Brazier, and Prasada Caroline Brazier are to talk at St. James's Church, London on the topic of their most recent books, Who Loves Dies Well and The Other Buddhism.

The intuition of a measureless Other lies behind the spiritual experience of many of us. The practice of opening ourselves to the ever-present love of Amida is the profound message of Pureland, a form of Buddhism, until recently, relatively unfamiliar in the West.

St James's Church, 197 Piccadilly, London Piccadilly Circus tube (south side exit) £10/5 concs
