Dharmabytes: Dharmas Are Dreamlike

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 26 Jan, 2023 - 06:00

Society is complicated and we have all sorts of stories about that. Satyajyoti explores how our ideas and our stories create their own realities. Whatever our views are about the world influences how we experience the world.

Excerpted from the talk Training In Wisdom, part of the series Mind Training - The Alchemy of The Emotions, given at Sheffield Buddhist Centre, 2019.

Ultraism in the Order

From Shabda Articles on Wed, 25 Jan, 2023 - 11:05

These days the pages of Shabda are often graced with references to mahamudra teachings, insight inquiry, 10 fetters practices and so many other teachings. It is wonderful that Order Members are deepening their going for refuge in many and various ways, and clearly the language with which we express these deepenings has evolved significantly over the last decades. However I wonder whether we in the Order sometimes fall into the trap of ultraism. In this short article I explore what...

FBA Podcast: The Heart Sutra

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 21 Jan, 2023 - 06:00

Vajrapriya takes us into this radical and classic wisdom-text which goes to the heart of how to become free, and how to help the world become free. Enigmatic, speaking to our depths, undermining any fundamentalism or limiting views about ourselves, it asks us to dive deep into the nature of experience, looking, for ourselves, to see truly the way things are. This talk was recorded on the Four Sanghas Retreat Taraloka Retreat Centre, 2022.
