An opportunity to hear David Brazier, one of the most remarkable Buddhist teachers at work today. What is Buddhism? How is the 2,500 year old Buddhist tradition relevant to the modern world? What might Humanism and Buddhism have in common? Can Humanism learn from Buddhism?

David Brazier (aka Dharmavidya) is a teacher, psychotherapist and author of six books on Buddhism, philosophy and related issues, that have been translated into several languages. With his wife Caroline, he founded The Amida Trust, a charity that runs training programmes and humanitarian projects across the world.
