Where’s the explanation ?

Can anyone tell me if the sessions are beginning on the 20th or 24th of October? 🙏🙏

Did Alister record Thursday’s session?

Hello and thank you so much for your warm greetings, which I return to you from Canada! I also appreciate your questions about being a progressive Muslim. I converted to Islam 15 years ago, and after 8 years, felt that I could no longer participate in the often patriarchal, misogynistic and homopobic practices exhibited in my Mosque. After much thought and prayer, I created the K-W Unity Mosque (K-W stands for Kitchener-Waterloo). Our warm and welcoming Mosque is gender equal in principle and practice. We are also firmly LGBTIQ+ inclusive and affirmative. We offer a safe space where Muslims as well as other spiritual seekers are free to spiritually explore, and be authentic to themselves and to God. I studied Buddhism before converting to Islam. It is a great honour to learn from dear Alistair - isn't he amazing?!! I believe that studying and practicing minduflness and meditation definitely enhances my ability to focus on my prayers, and on kindness and compassion! I facilitate and administer the Mosque, and feel that my ability to let minor problems and irritants go has really been enriched by studying Buddhism. Now there are definite differences between the two religions, but I am not fixating on those differences, but celebrating the common principles. I hope that I have not rattled on too long here! Feel free to send along any other questions that you might have, and blessings and peace to you!! Fran

Isn't it extraordinary? Finally, a scifi multiverse that's really invigorating! On the campus where I teach, near one building there are some blank stone balls ... which some students recently edited by adding these googly eyes — I assume in the spirit of this film!

Hi Alistair, last winter I joined the Buddhist chats, I felt way out of my depth, I had little knowledge about Buddhism. I have listened to all the short clips now and they are an ideal introduction! Thanks
