From experiencing to experiences and (never quite) back again

From Shabda Articles on Mon, 20 Jan, 2020 - 14:41

In this article, I aim to explore both the interplay between experiencing and experiences. I hope to show that the relation between both and our ability to work creatively in or with it is crucial to our making sense of life in general, including spiritual practice. It is also the basis for what I call ‘phenomenological practice’ (which might include practice reviews, reflective dialogue, autobiographical undertakings, Dharma study and more). 

I will also explore ‘first-person authority’ and its relation to ‘self-knowledge’. In my...

From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 20 Jan, 2020 - 14:00

Classic Sangharakshita from the Aspects of the Higher Evolution of the Individual series given in 1970.

Tackling such terms as self, I, individual, and ego, reveals that each can have both a positive and a negative connotation. What is the self, and how can we cultivate true Individuality?

Excerpted from the talk Individuality , True and Self.

The Dakini and the Skull Garland

From London Buddhist Centre on Mon, 20 Jan, 2020 - 00:00
Tantric Buddhism is concerned with the direct experience of who we are and what we can become. Its aim is to help us realize our potential by transforming the energy locked in by old habits, fears, and views. This experience cannot be mediated by concepts; it needs to be evoked with the help of symbols.

FBA Podcast: Working With Adversity

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 11 Jan, 2020 - 14:00

When things go wrong in our life we can see them as an obstacle to an ideal spiritual life feel we should be leading. But there’s another way of looking at difficulties, and instead of trying to get rid of difficulties, we could be welcoming them as opportunities. 

Vajratara  draws on the Tibetan Mind Training tradition, as well as the Pali Suttas to examine how we can make adversity our teacher and the ground in...

The Preceptors’ College Chair Handover

From Clear Vision Trust on Wed, 15 Jan, 2020 - 13:19

The annual international meeting of the Preceptors’ College took place from the 4th to the 14th November, 2019. It was Saddhaloka’s final meeting as Chair after almost five years of service, and half-way through the meeting he handed over to Ratnadharini, the incoming Chair, marking the transition with a ritual and rejoicings. Here we capture the handover ceremony and extracts from interviews with Saddhaloka and Ratnadharini.
