My Fellow Bodhisattva

Dharma Club is a meeting place to discuss the teachings of the Buddha. Because of the virus and subsequent distancing,  Dharma Club was moved to an online group.  This episode is edited from the original recording. Please contact me at kanjogrohman@gmail.com if you would like to be added to the discussion.

Make your altar practice part of your daily living .
