Beauty As the Fourth Laksana

In this talk, Punyamala takes us through the rich mandala of practice we can follow by reflecting on the laksanas. She then describes the path of beauty and how we can move from contemplating mundane beauty to the beauty of the enlightened state.

This talk was given during the Women’s Area Order Weekend at Adhisthana, December 2019.

FBA Podcast: Surrendering to a Greater Beauty

By Sadayasihi on Sat, 12 Dec, 2020 - 06:00

Starting with a story from the Rastrapalapariprccha-Sutra, Vajratara draws out the significance of Sangharakshita’s paper on the Fourth Laksana. This is the path of beauty, from contemplation of ugliness to the gateway of liberation called ‘the beautiful’. To be on the path of beauty, we don’t merely enjoy beauty, we have to surrender ourselves to that beauty.

Talk given at Tiratanaloka Retreat Centre, 2019.
