The fifth 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.
Seventh talk of Padmaloka's 2012 Winter Retreat and the beginning of the second time round the mandala, this time, we focus more on the symbolism of the Vajra and the mirror-like wisdom of Akshobya. This wisdom is an invitation to get beneath the story; what do we really know about the situations we find ourselves in, how much of it is our interpretation ? Can we drop the stories and find freedom? One approach we can apply is that of 'unhooking', listen to find out more.
Sixth talk of Padmaloka's 2012 Winter Retreat and last talk on the first circuit of the Mandala. We enter the centre, come to a realm of light and openness. We hear about the importance of boredom as a means of cultivating spiritual receptivity and ensuring that we have a balanced approach to our spiritual lives.
