This is a simple meditation that begins with opening to the senses, and end with getting curious about the nature of our thoughts as sense objects.

In this two part presentation, Dhammavijaya firstly retells a moving story concerning a disciple of the Buddha. In the second part he differentiates between two classes of truth, before outlining the Triratna perspective on scriptural authority. Finally he dwells upon the meaning of the story as it has affected him, drawing particular attention to what the story tells us about Spiritual Friendship. This talk was given at the Croydon Buddhist Centre in 2017 as part of the regular Saturday morning Sangha meeting.

Kusaladevi gave this lovely talk on the topic of Karuna door-knocking appeals to the Stockholm sangha. Here she encourages the audience to take part in appeals by explaining three main benefits and how they can be transferred to daily life - transforming both self and world. Talk given at Stockholm Buddhist Centre, Sangha Night 12th June 2017.
