This group is for those interested in the Pali Buddhist Texts, principally the Nikayas in Pali and in English translation, the Pali language and the ideas and concepts embodied in the texts.

Deeksha works by awakening Kundalini, a latent spiritual energy located at the base of the spine. This creates a gradual shift in consciousness, freeing …

So, I think it would be great for fellow Russian Jews to get together and begin exploring the pr …
