Where do we belong?

Is belonging about place, people, identity — or something deeper?

In this interview, Ratnavyuha and Adbhutaja explore belonging from a Buddhist perspective. Beginning with Lunar New Year greetings to Auckland’s Chinese community, the conversation unfolds across languages, cultures, and shared human experience.

Full interview available on the Auckland Buddhist Centre YouTube channel.
