Conversations on Buddhism and Sexuality with Dr. Ann Gleig, Amy Langenberg, and Pema Khandro
With Pema Khandro, Amy Langenberg and Dr. Ann Gleig
October 6, 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. This series provides a platform for contemplating these questions and the greater context of Buddhist ethics. The goal is to raise awareness, promote education and highlight resources. The series will feature four evenings of conversations between Pema Khandro and Buddhist scholars and teachers.
