Escape from Samsara

‘Escape from Samsara’ is a spiritual journey , where our speaker is seeking transcendence in a world dominated by materialism, fads, internet phenomena, flaky lovers and plenty other bad stuff. The collection asks “How does one rise above all this and escape? How can I become whole in a world dead-set on fragmenting and fracturing apart?”
