Mind and Cosmos: Towards a New Buddhist Cosmology (Part 1)

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Thu, 24 Feb, 2022 - 00:00

For almost its whole history, Buddhism has been not only presented teachings about the mind, but also about the whole cosmos. In this talk (the first in a series of three), Viryadeva attempts to show why an understanding of traditional Buddhist cosmology is key to an understanding of the Buddha's teachings. He also shows how it has direct, practical relevance to urgent contemporary problems.

The Mirror of Myriad Worlds

From Bristol Buddhist Centre on Tue, 22 Feb, 2022 - 13:26

Worlds defined by pride, addiction, hatred, delusion, ignorance and attachment swirl within and around us. To step into the potential of our life we need to know where we stand.
