Conversations on Buddhism and Sexuality with Dr. Nida and Pema Khandro
With Pema Khandro and Dr. Nida Chenagtsang
October 7, 2020
The subject of Buddhism and Sexuality is a complex issue approached in a variety of ways throughout history. Most recently, in the wake of the #metoo movement, news about sexual abuse and sexual misconduct in Buddhism has brought forward important questions.

The series will feature four evenings of conversations between Pema Khandro and Buddhist scholars and teachers.
