Deep Contemplation | Vimamsa Iddhipada

From Padmaloka Retreat Centre on Sat, 21 May, 2022 - 00:00
Reflection and deep contemplation can bring a whole new dimension to life and reveal truths that would otherwise be left hidden. In this talk, Prajnahridaya explores the 4th 'basis of power' of vimamsa, often translated as 'investigation', by evoking the depth and profundity of some fundamental Buddhist teachings.

Dharmabyte: Enter Mara, The Evil One

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 19 May, 2022 - 06:00

How do we relate to inner voices which undermine our confidence and best efforts? Can we, like Lochana, touch the earth with clarity and confidence in our path?

From the talk Lochana and Mara: Clarity and Doubt, given at ...
