A series of personal talks about their spiritual lives by three women elders of the Triratna Buddhist Community, given at the LBC's Women's Class in October and November 2011.
The Buddha is the first of the Three Jewels of Buddhism, but the can be the last jewel we feel connected with. Vajratara uses stories of the Buddha's life to help us develop a deeper appreciation of the Buddha through history, in our imagination and as Reality itself - through the head, heart and 'soul'. The prostrating King, shining angels and the monk that didn't recognise the Buddha...
To have friends, we need to learn to be a friend. Friendship is an active practice, not to be left to chance. Using the Buddha's advice to Sigalaka, Vajratara gives some practical guidance on how to be a good hearted, supportive, consistent, beneficial and loving friend.
In this talk on the Buddha's parinirvana, Vadanya explores how we can use our imagination to have a real living connection with the Buddha, and how we can make our own future potential for enlightenment a source of strength and guidance in our present lives.
Talk given at a Men's Event, Padmaloka Retreat Centre, October 2011.
The Buddha's last days, as recorded in the Pali Canon, can teach us much about him, his teaching and about the nature of Buddhahood.
In this talk, Vajrashura gives a comprehensive commentary on the Parinibbana Sutta, and along the way, draws out some important themes for us to consider.
