World Teacher - The Buddha's Transcendental Message

From London Buddhist Centre on Mon, 25 Mar, 2024 - 00:00
Carl Jung once said 'We have fallen from the roof of the medieval cathedral into the abyss of self'. After the 'death of god' how can we find a sense of the sacred, a transcendent vision of meaning and purpose that we can serve? The Buddha's communication is just that, albeit understood in a particular and mysterious way. Maitreyabandhu explores the mystery of the Buddha and his Dhamma in this keynote talk.

The Buddha and Ananda once tended a sick monk, neglected by his companions because of his ‘uselessness’. Sangharakshita shows that people cannot be treated as ‘things’ in the spiritual community.

A Limb of the Universe

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Wed, 20 Mar, 2024 - 00:00
Just as I love and cherish my body, which is divided into many limbs, so I should love and cherish this whole world, which is divided into many beings.’ So says Shantideva in his famous ‘Guide to the Path of Awakening’. In this talk Vadanya will explore what Shantideva tells us about the wisdom teaching of ‘anatman’ – often translated as ‘no-self’ – and look at how this apparently negative doctrine opens up a positive and inspiring vision of connectedness.
