Padmasambhava's Advice to the Three Fortunate Women

From Glasgow Buddhist Centre on Tue, 10 Jul, 2012 - 01:00
This talk was given at the Glasgow Buddhist Centre in 2010.

Padmolka looks at the first section of Padmasambhava's Advice to The Three Fortunate Women from The Life and Liberation of Padmasambhava. She begins by saying a bit about Padmasambhava subduing the demons of Tibet and the circumstances around the time when this teaching is given.

Padmasambhava is asked for a short, practical teaching which can be learned by heart to help Queen Nang Chung to practice the Dharma and ultimately lead her to Buddhahood.

She then goes through the verse, pulling out it's themes and meaning.

Why Facebook Isn't Enough

Why Facebook Isn't Enough

From Community Highlights on Mon, 9 Jul, 2012 - 18:23Facebook - you just can’t get away from it! Did you know that over 900 million people now actively use it? That means by ‘population’, Facebook is (sort of!) the world’s third largest country! And it’s a safe bet that soon enough more people will spend time on the mother of all social networks than live in any one nation… That’s quite a thought, and quite a new sort of connected global reality for...
