Colour is Everywhere (Dharmabytes Podcast)

By Centre Team on Thu, 24 Apr, 2025 - 11:00

Colour has an important place in Buddhism, for example as a way to express different aspects of the Enlightened mind in the Five Jinas. This symbolism can open the imagination to new depths of understanding. As an artist and former art teacher, Ahimsaka has studied colour extensively and helped us explore the deeper significance of colour in Buddhist practice.

Death is Certain, Commit Now! (Dharmabytes Podcast)

By Centre Team on Mon, 24 Feb, 2025 - 11:00

Moksatara introduces the dakini, the tantric embodiment of what’s possible when all of our energy is completely engaged, alive and flowing. In order to meet the dakinis we must travel to where they dwell: the cremation grounds, where bodies are taken to be burnt. The deepest, darkest energies to be transformed are associated with fear. By deliberately plunging into crucial situations which mirror these burning grounds, old ways are forced to change and we are compelled to...

FBA Podcast: The Dakini and the Skull Garland

By Centre Team on Sat, 30 Dec, 2023 - 11:00

Tantric Buddhism is concerned with the direct experience of who we are and what we can become. Its aim is to help us realize our potential by transforming the energy locked in by old habits, fears, and views. This experience cannot be mediated by concepts; it needs to be evoked with the help of symbols. Subhadramati gave this talk at London Buddhist Centre, 2020.

Dharmabytes: Powerful Energies

By Centre Team on Thu, 28 Dec, 2023 - 11:00

Moksatara introduces the dakini, the tantric embodiment of what’s possible when all of our energy is completely engaged, alive and flowing. These beings of limitless space have complete freedom of mind, fierce energy and a full emotional engagement with life. In order to meet the dakinis we must travel to where they dwell: the cremation grounds, where bodies are taken to be burnt. The deepest, darkest energies to be transformed are associated with fear. By deliberately plunging...

Slowing the Momentum of Delusion - talk

By BristolBC on Tue, 1 Mar, 2022 - 11:01

The six realms are created and perpetuated by our relation to our heart space. In this talk Bhadra describes the tendencies to push our life towards fantasies of growth to get the love we long for or to deny our experiences of unmet needs that often carry us into numbness, addiction and oblivion.
