Subhuti on Stream Entry

From Order Connection on Mon, 27 Jan, 2025 - 09:03

This talk explores how Going Forth means more than leaving home—it’s about continually letting go of whatever holds us back. Drawing on the examples of the Buddha and Sangharakshita, Subhuti shows how dissatisfaction can fuel deeper commitment. There’s a call for honest reflection on how to live differently, guided by the spirit of Going for Refuge.

Wisdom Takes the Form of Light (FBA Podcast)

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 25 Jan, 2025 - 11:00

Maitrisiddhi explores Shinjin as faith, bodhicitta and wisdom. What happens when the conditioned mind lets up for a bit? Experiences of beauty, openness, love, desire to go for refuge and devotion naturally arise; we experience contact with ‘amida’, the quality of limitlessness. Are those experiences ‘ours’ – or something else? This talk was given at Taraloka Retreat Centre, 2024.

In answering the question ‘What is Buddhism?’, Sangharakshita identifies higher evolution - the development of higher states of consciousness - with the twelve links in the progressive trend of the Buddha’s teaching of conditioned co-production. Here he defines the second link, that of faith, translated from the sanskrit shraddha. Excerpted from the talk entitled Buddhism and the Path of the Higher Evolution, part of the series The Higher Evolution, given in 1969.
