Our next dharma book group, facilitated by Joan Quinn and Liz Farmer, will explore Lama Rod Owens’ newly published The New Saints: From Broken Hearts to Spiritual Warriors: “Saints are ordinary and human, doing things any person can learn to do,” teaches Lama Rod Owens. “Our era calls for saints who are from this time and place, speak the language of this moment, and integrate both social and spiritual liberation. I believe we all can and must become New Saints." 

From Lama Rod's website: "Lama Rod Owens is a Black Buddhist Southern Queen who is an authorized lama in the Kagyu School of Tibetan Buddhism with a master of divinity degree from Harvard.
