The Guarding of Awareness (Bodhicaryavatara 3 of 6)

From Birmingham Buddhist Centre on Thu, 9 May, 2019 - 00:00
Contemporary society tells us that its important to get it all out and that we need to be kind to ourselves. However when we look at the Bodhicaryavatara Shantideva takes a different tack - make war on the defilements! What are we to make of this? Talk 3 of 6 on the Bodhicaryavatara.

Like a Block of Wood (Bodhicaryavatara 4 of 6)

From Birmingham Buddhist Centre on Thu, 9 May, 2019 - 00:00
More counter-cultural stuff here, shouldn't we always express how we feel? Shantideva seems to be saying something else when he encourages us to be 'like a block of wood'... Talk 4 of 6 on the Bodhicaryavatara.

Wisdom In the Bodhicaryavatara (5 of 6)

From Birmingham Buddhist Centre on Thu, 9 May, 2019 - 00:00
The whole of the Bodhicaryavatara builds to Shantideva's exposition on Wisdom. Yet often the commentaries skip it, with humbleness and strong sense of biting off more than he can chew Dharmashalin tries to explore how we can engage with this material.

Dedication In the Bodhicaryavatara (6 of 6)

From Birmingham Buddhist Centre on Thu, 9 May, 2019 - 00:00
The Bodhicaryavatara culminates with verses of sublime beauty expressing a deep and profound desire for the alleviation of suffering. Maitrisara evokes these verses with tenderness and delight, whilst also turning back to that tricky topic of hell.
