Life Breaks its Promise (Dharmabytes Podcast)

From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 15 Jul, 2024 - 11:00

Subhadramati explores forgiveness and the arising of the Bodhicitta. The ego sustains itself by blaming - forgiveness means letting go of our egoic reactions and becoming a conduit for the mind of Bodhicitta. Excerpted from Being a Conduit For the Mind of Bodhicitta during the Women’s Area Order Weekend, 2018.

Padmasakhi and I were very happy to meet Vidyachandra from the bus in Valderrobres yesterday. She’s travelled many kilometres since leaving Mexico in June and now has finally arrived on the mountain. Hooray! So in this moment we are the new Akashavana community…I feel very energised and happy to welcome in this new phase for us all and whatever emerges from this configuration. Last night we ritually dedicated the new community in both English and Spanish. Each wearing our saffron kesa…

In this talk given at a Mythic Context retreat at Padmaloka, Padmavajra speaks very personally about what he understands the mythic context to mean. In the course of his meanderings, he talks about life itself, the three kinds of transmission, of the Dharma, teachers and disciples and much else besides.

Careful Study (Dharmabytes Podcast)

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 11 Jul, 2024 - 16:48

A lovely, thoughtful exploration of the traditional Buddhist path of ethics, meditation and wisdom, using poetry and the ideas of contemporary science to evoke the mystery that lies at the heart of practice. Dhammadassin’s beautifully weighted talk challenges us to look at how we think and how we act, and is rooted in a moving fidelity to experience as the ground of our inspiration. One to be treasured!

Excerpted from the talk Standing on Emptiness: View,...
