## Resource

Stories are powerful - they speak to parts of ourselves that respond to symbols, patterns and truths about human life that are deeper and far beyond our rational experience. Here, Kavyamani tells the moving story of the Buddha's final days, his Parinirvana. Excerpted from the talk entitled In the Footsteps of the Buddha Retreat (6 of 6) given at Taraloka Retreat Centre , 2022. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!
