From Order Connection on Wed, 20 Jul, 2016 - 21:04

Honouring the King's Sacred Duty

From Padmaloka Retreat Centre on Wed, 20 Jul, 2016 - 00:00
In this talk Sanghanistha shares his reflections on one of Sangharakshita's aphorisms and how this acts as a blueprint for a life that embodies the archetype of the king. A life lived knowing change and directing change by taking responsibility for ourselves as agents of karma, a life lived helping others to also do this and come together to transform the world around us so that it upholds and encourages the highest values. This was the final talk given at the 'Awakening the King' Young Men's Retreat, April 2016.

From Padmaloka Retreat Centre on Wed, 20 Jul, 2016 - 00:00
