In the Lands of the Siddhas

From Padmaloka Retreat Centre on Sat, 21 Oct, 2023 - 00:00
In this talk Padmavajra explores 'the way of the ecstatic wanderers', the Mahasiddhas who are the early Buddhist Tantric adepts. He tells some stories, including stories about Sangharakshita and his encounters with a one-eyed Tantric in South India. He also evokes 'the mysterious home of the dakini' which takes us to the Land of the Five Jnanas. Finally, he makes a plea to take the magic power of Love out to others to heal the violence of this world.

Vimalakirti the Man

From Padmaloka Retreat Centre on Sat, 21 Oct, 2023 - 00:00
A general introduction to the historical personality of Vimalakirti; his attainments, motivation, lifestyle, appearance, effect in the worlds and finally his sickness, which is a skillful means for a direct Dharma teaching and an urge to Go for Refuge to the Buddha. This is the first of a series of four talks given by Vidyadaka at Padmaloka on the Open Retreat.

Vimalakirti the Teaching

From Padmaloka Retreat Centre on Sat, 21 Oct, 2023 - 00:00
Vimalakirti is Enlightenment - unlimited; so when he meets the disciples and Bodhisattvas he reveals their limitations. Through these interactions we learn about the dangers of sin, guilt, punishment, teaching others without knowing them and limited assumptions about renunciation. Vimalakirti points beyond them all. The second of four talks given by Vidyadaka at Padmaloka on the Open Retreat.

Vimalakirti the Meaning

From Padmaloka Retreat Centre on Sat, 21 Oct, 2023 - 00:00
Manjusri visits Vimalakirti in his empty house and engages in high-level Dharma communication, but what does this mean for us and how do we find a way of communicating that takes us beyond chronological time and into the vast perspective of the Dharma? This is the third of four talks given at Padmaloka by Vidyadaka on the Open Retreat.

Vimalakirti the Activity

From Padmaloka Retreat Centre on Sat, 21 Oct, 2023 - 00:00
The Buddha and the Dharma manifest activity in the world through individuals in the Sangha; but for this to be the case for us we need to free ourselves from dualism. Through the discussion between Manjusri and Vimalakirti we are taken beyond concepts into profound silence. Out of this we hear of the activity of Bhante in Nagpur in 1956. The fourth and final talk in the series given by Vidyadaka at Padmaloka on the Open Retreat.

Blood, Bones, and Halos of Fire

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Fri, 20 Oct, 2023 - 00:00
Bodhinaga picks up the theme 'Tantra for Today' by pulling out his guts and setting them alight (not literally). Exploring what it means to practice the Dharma with the whole of yourself, come and hear about transforming messy bits like secret fear and hot emotions like burning rage!
