‘Near death experiences have previously been considered unworthy of science but, now that these experiences are being seriously acknowledged and are a valid area for scientific study, it seems that we are on the threshold of expanding our current knowledge about the meaning of life and death.’
Tre föredrag om puja, vördnad och ritual, och dess plats i den buddhistiska praktiken. Varför finns detta inslag i buddhismen och hur kan det rent praktiskt gå till?
Inspelningar från en stadsretreat över en helg i februari 2022.
Dharmashalin gave this talk in February 2022 at Padmaloka during the Great Gathering, themed 'Energy and the Symbolism of the Stupa'. In this talk, he explores the stupa, the different elements (earth, water, air, fire and space) and how we can work with them in our Dharma life. Dharmashalin gives several useful, funny and down-to-earth examples to help us pick the low hanging fruits in the spiritual life.
Saddhanandi says at the beginning of this talk that she’s concerned she won’t fully convey the depth of inspiration she feels about her theme, that of Tsongkhapa’s short text “The Three Principal Aspects of the Path - she shouldn’t have worried, she does it full justice.
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.
