Speaking personally about stepping onto the Buddhist path, Padmavajra shares stories of spiritual friendship in the context of his own life and reflected in the work of Gampopa’s Jewel Ornament of Liberation.

Dharmabytes: The Great Love

From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 13 Nov, 2023 - 11:00

Our teacher Sangharakshita has said: “It is in friendship (maitri) that we may find the emotional equivalent of the intellectual understanding of the doctrine of ‘no self’”.

From the talk Spiritual Friendship and the Heart’s Release by Maitreyi given at Taraloka Retreat Centre, 2018.
