Smritiratna interviews Pam about her journey into right livelihood and her work in the field of climate change. Pam is a mitra living in Paisley, originally from Detroit, Michigan. We hear about the elements of Pam's childhood, and her earlier working life that brought her to the field of climate change. She talks about the consequences of alienation from the landscape, about whether small actions have an effect in the mass of suffering, how her Buddhist practice supports her in her work and about despair in the face of climate change. The interview is preceded by Smritiratna giving a few notes on his talk 21st Century Ethics.

In this lively and engaging talk Sanghaketu suggests that focusing on one side in our practice can often leave us feeling out of balance, and that engaging with the world can deepen our sense of appreciation. A talk given at Manchester Buddhist Centre's Triratna Night on 16th April 2018.

The Imaginal Faculty....what is it and why does it matter in our spiritual lives? Taravandana offers a personal perspective on her journey and experience of it in her practice. She offers guidance and pointers on how to open up further to the Imaginal Faculty in our own practice. A talk given as part of a day for women training for Ordination on 29th January 2017.

Smritiratna looks at Buddhist ethics and the ten precepts, and how our actions have consequences on a global scale because of issues related to climate change and ethical consumption. How do we look at these issues and remain open and courageous, training in the manner of a bodhisattva?
