Find Purpose Through Service

Meditation teacher, author, and speaker Vimalasara grew up in an orphanage in Britain and developed mindfulness techniques as a child to cope with the harsh punishments they faced. Later, Vimalasara became the author of several books, and it was a trip to India for their ordination as a Buddhist that provided the inspiration for the book "Broken Voices" and a shift in their life’s perspective.
