The Evolution of Liberation

From Bristol Buddhist Centre on Thu, 21 Jun, 2012 - 00:00
From inert matter, self reproducing molecules and cells evolved; from

these, living beings with sense consciousness appeared in the universe. Eventually self-consciousness itself gradually developed. Each of us is

an heir of this miraculous, infinitely valuable, evolutionary process. But it does not stop here. Each individual can consciously step beyond the limited horizons that a 'self' imposes, onto a path of higher evolution, each stage of which makes the previous one feel like a prison. What does this path look like? What are the stages in the evolution of Freedom?

The Tale of Maha-Kassapa

From Glasgow Buddhist Centre on Wed, 20 Jun, 2012 - 01:00
Amoghavajra takes us back 2,500 years to the Kingdom of Magadha in Northern India to the birth of a boy called Kassapa. He grows up happily and as he gets older he becomes less and less worldly. Kassapa marries Bhadda who has equally renunciant tendancies. They both go forth together.

Kassapa meets the Buddha, becomes his disciple and gains Enlightenment. He is known as a superb meditator and was foremost among the bhikkus for practising austerities. According to Amoghavajra's story, one of the teachings that the Buddha gave to Kassapa was to attend to whatever gladdens the heart. So, Amoghavajra asks us, what is it that gladdens your heart?
