As a special treat for you all this week as we countdown to #buddhaday we will be releasing a series of dharma reflections and evocations of the Buddha over the coming days…⠀

Today, from the ClearVision archives, we share a talk Sangharakshita gave on Buddha Day in 1999! Sangharakshita reflects on the Buddha's achievement of Enlightenment, drawing our attention to an often overlooked feature of this great event - the Buddha's expression of gratitude to the tree that sheltered him.

You can listen to the audio and download the talk here.
