The Third Order of Consciousness (FBA Podcast)

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 26 Apr, 2025 - 11:00

Communication with another can be a wonderfully connecting and liberating experience or it can destroy us. Recognising the mystery and interconnectedness of all things we find the uncanny ability to communicate meaningfully. Mindfulness, courage and renunciation are essential. Saraha invites us all, with practical steps, to notice and live freedom in Shunyata, connection in aloneness and the mutual co-arising of each other. Better than 1000 meaningless words is one word on hearing which makes the heart become...

A Lake of Lotuses

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Wed, 23 Apr, 2025 - 00:00
NOTE: There was a technical issue with the recording so there is a large chunk of the talk missing. The White Lotus Sutra - nothing to do with the TV series! - is perhaps the most influential of all Mahayana Buddhist texts. Sangharakshita has described it as the closest thing to a Buddhist Bible - because of its importance, although in every other way it is nothing like the Christian Bible. In this series we will be exploring its profound teachings, presented through a combination of poetry, drama, parables and what can seem like cosmic science fiction, and the way these have the potential to free us to take our practice of the Dharma to a new level.
