May the Flames That Transmute Samsara Into Nirvana Arise (FBA Podcast)

By Centre Team on Sat, 2 Nov, 2024 - 10:00

Taking the line ‘May the flames that transmute samsara into nirvana’ from the familiar Triratna Dedication ceremony as his starting point, Jnanadhara explores the transformative power of mindfulness. What exactly are those flames? How does mindfulness help us ‘transform, transmute, transfigure’ in the words of Bhante Sangharakshita? Taking a deep dive into the Tantric symbolism of Padmasambhava and drawing on poetry and his love of music and mantra, Jnanadhara presents us with an excellent grounding in how...

Often on the first night of a retreat this is marked by some kind of ceremony - in our community, this is often done with a...

By sheena on Fri, 25 Sep, 2015 - 22:28
