Candice Burke and George Carr have invited Allan Cooper for a series of discussions about meditation, Buddhism, and how or if they may be helpful in our daily lives.
Candice and George have long felt that practical and common sense information about Dharma and meditation would be helpful if it could be more accessible to the average meditator.
