This FBA Dharmabyte is called ‘Enlightenment Is Possible’ by Saddhanandi from the talk Reflecting On the Life of the Buddha.

This is the first of four talks exploring Vasubandhu’s Four Factors. In his treatise Generating Bodhi Resolve, Vasubandhu describes them as able to generate the resolve to cultivate and accumulate the bases for the Arising of the Bodhicitta. You can find out more about them in Sangharakshita’s books The Meaning of Conversion in Buddhism...

This FBA Dharmabyte today catapults us into The Bodhisattva’s Cosmic Context. Another excerpt from a classic Sangharakshita talk entitled “The Cosmic Significance of the Bodhisattva Ideal” from The Higher Evolution series given in 1969.
