Back from break!

Steven Tainer will be introducing a new perspective on a core set of Buddhist traditions and associated types of practice regarding mind training.

There are a number of quite different answers to this question, and I am hoping these answers will prove useful to you in your own practice. ]]><![CDATA[Nuns Sharing Dharma]]>Wed, 11 Jan 2012 07:54:02 -0800http://www.berkeleymonastery.org/3/post/2012/01/nuns-sharing-dharma.html
