Instead, we are able to use them as\nmanure to enrich the soil of our existence.\nWe will be looking at two texts, one classic from the 14th century and\nanother from the 20th, both of which reveal in a very inspiring manner how\nwe can live as wise, compassionate and courageous spiritual warriors,\ncommitted to the welfare of the world and its beings. This is of course what\nwe most need nowadays in India and throughout the world as we all face\nthe onslaught of climate change, hatred, conflict and the Coronavirus.\nWe will be weaving talks, discussions and meditations into the tapestry of\nthis short, but hopefully inspirational and practical, get-together.\n \n
