Join us for an evening with Barbara Lepani, a compelling Blue Mountains author, as she shares her fascinating journey through life in her memoir, “Call of the Dakini.” From her upbringing in Queensland to traversing China’s Cultural Revolution and her experiences in Papua New Guinea, Barbara’s insights offer a rich tapestry of wisdom. Delve into her encounters with Tibetan Buddhism and its parallels with First Nations knowledge systems. Don’t miss this unique Author Talk/Event on Tuesday 30 July.

This talk will be held in person at the Library only. Please register to attend.

All Sessions are by Donation (Dana) to the Buddhist Library. All donations to the Buddhist Library of $2 and over are tax deductible.

Dana is the traditional practice of generosity, the extending of one’s goodwill, which is fundamental to Buddhism and other spiritual traditions. The dana you give is shared equally with the teacher and the Buddhist Library. This helps to maintain the Library and supports the teacher so that they may offer more teachings on the Dhamma in the future. It is up to each person to determine the amount of dana they’d like to offer. We understand that this is a difficult time financially for many, and people will give what they can. An appropriate dana can’t be prescribed but requires sensitivity to its intent and to the individual’s own situation, as well as awareness of the cost of organising events and supporting teachers who spread the Dhamma
