Base Metal Into Gold

By Free Buddhist Audio on Wed, 1 May, 2024 - 00:00

Following Vadanya's introduction last week to our new theme, looking at the seven point mind training, Satyajyoti will explore what is it to turn adverse conditions into our path to Enlightenment. We all meet difficulties in our lives and with a radical change in perspective, we can think and act more like an Enlightened being. How would we act in every ordinary moment if we were Enlightened? How can we act to be more Enlightened? In this series we will be exploring a powerful, pithy teaching that tells us how to do just that.
