The seventh in a series of eight talks given at the LBC's Dharma Night. An eight-week seminar exploring a practical path to Enlightenment using the five stages of spiritual life: integration, positive emotion, spiritual death, rebirth and spiritual receptivity. We'll be dedicating ourselves to day-to-day practice inspired by the Buddha's example.

This recording is a little different to the others in the series as it includes the linked activities from the first part of the evening.

This talk is the first of four talks by Padmavajra on a men's Going for Refuge retreat, December 2012.

Padmavajra explores some of the suttas from The Udana collection of the Pali Canon, referring throughout to Sangharakshita's seminar material.

This talk is organised using the following structure : Introduction to The Udana; The Bodhi suttas; The Bliss of Liberation; the three bases of the Buddha's freedom; the metaphor of the shaman.

A l'occasion de la fête de la Sangha, Mahasiddhi partage des histoires très personnelles sur ses amitiés. Profond, touchant avec une bonne dose d'humour et l'accent méridional, il met en valeur les qualités de l'amitié spirituelle et exemplifie aussi comment elle peut être développée en toute simplicité.
