50 Years, 50 Voices: Shraddhavajri (Highlights)

From Buddhist Voices on Sat, 21 May, 2022 - 15:57

I say to ‘Padmasambhava, ‘You don’t have a body—I have a body… Use my body, and I’ll use your energy.

Padmasambhava In the Land of the Flesh-Eating Ogres

From Padmaloka Retreat Centre on Sat, 21 May, 2022 - 00:00
Padmasambhava left Tibet to travel to the Copper Coloured Mountain somewhere in the south-west. He went there to convert the rakshasas, the human flesh eating ogres who were threatening to devour human beings. In this world Padmasambhava created his pure Buddhafield. He resides there now in the Lotus Light Palace in the midst of the glorious spontaneous expression of Enlightened Activity amidst a dazzling swirl of dakas and dakinis joyously converting the ogres. Padmavajra tells us how this dazzling vision is really about our world right now and how we can play our part in the work of fighting and converting all that threatens the distinctively human.

Subduing the Demons and Building the Monastery

From Padmaloka Retreat Centre on Sat, 21 May, 2022 - 00:00
In this talk, Dharmasara relates the story of how Padmasambhava subdued the demons of Tibet in order to build Samye monastery. The monastery works as a symbol for a flourishing spiritual community which is not effected by the destructive forces in the world, but instead puts them to the service of the Dharma. To subdue our own gods and demons, we have to become a true individual, and true individuals are what constitutes the spiritual community. This talk was given during a young men's retreat held at Padmaloka in the spring of 2022
