Amaraghosha - The Mystery of Spiritual Rebirth

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Fri, 22 Apr, 2016 - 00:00
In this deeply reflective talk, Amaraghosha completes our series of talks about The Journey and The Guide. We explore the mystery of spiritual rebirth in relation to sraddha and the imagination, using stories and quotes. Amarghosha also introduces Maitreyabandhu's five aspects of uplifiting imagination - aliveness, discovery, unity, playfulness and ascent and compares this with our everyday consciousness. This talk was given at Croydon Buddhist Centre in March 2016 as part of the regular Saturday Morning Sangha class.
