Description

Talk #4. Lamas Yeshe and Zopa talk with Kim Allen, who began meditating in 2003, seeking both a path out of suffering and the deeper truths of life. She trained for many years in the Theravāda tradition and more recently with teachers of other Buddhist traditions. Her path has included long retreat, study of the suttas, and practice in Asia, and she now lives as a lay contemplative. 
Kim serves as a teacher and author dedicated to offering classical Dharma in a modern context. Her website is http://www.uncontrived.org.
#WhyNirvanaMatters is a series of talks with contemporary Buddhist teachers about Nirvana, peace, and its relevance in our lives and practice of Dharma.
