Dharmabyte: Encountering the Depths

From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 29 Mar, 2021 - 06:00

Evoking the mystery, power and courage of the deep-green Buddha Amoghasiddhi, Ksantikara extols us to be brave enough to encounter the depths of our being. And from the depths to gather the power to act, to move towards enlightenment and set ourselves free.

Excerpted from the talk entitled Amoghasiddhi & The Call of the Forest, part of the series The Symbolic World of the Five Buddha Mandala given at London Buddhist Centre’s 2019 Winter Retreat.
