"In a crisis you have to find new ways to be, you can't just carry on with the old ways...Buddhism gives you something new...a way of finding happiness, that comes from a different place.""I think the world, at the moment, is giving us lessons in the need for spirituality" On a recent visit to Venezuela, Parami speaks with Abhayasara (ordained in October) and Maria Elena, Wilman and Arsenio who are all involved in the Merida sangha.Full of gratitude and appreciation for what they have been given, we hear from these four about what it's like to be part of a sangha in a country which is in crisis and some of their hopes and dreams for the future.In this bilingual podcast - which delightfully finishes with a song! - we get a flavour of Venezuela: musical, colourful and warmly welcoming to visitors. *****"Durante una crisis tienes que encontrar nuevas maneras de ser, no puedes nada más continuar con los viejos hábitos… el Budismo te da algo nuevo.. una manera de encontrar una felicidad que viene de otro lado.”“Yo creo que el mundo, en este momento, nos  está dando una lección sobre la necesidad de espiritualidad” En una visita reciente a Venezuela, Parami habló con Abhayasara, (quien se ordenó en octubre), Maria Elena, Wilman y Arsenio, todos ellos involucrados en la sangha de Mérida.Llenos de gratitud y aprecio por lo que han recibido, los escuchamos hablar sobre lo que es ser parte de una sangha en un país en crisis, así como de sus sueños y esperanzas para el futuro.En este podcast bilingue, -que termina alegremente con una canción!-  tenemos  un sabor de Venezuela: la música, el color y la cálida bienvenida a los que la visitan.
