The first of three short talks given on Padmasambhava Day, exploring the demons that we meet in the contemporary world, and how to transform them.

Ratnaprabha's talk is a fascinating enquiry into the ethics of eating - a challenging and complex subject, one of great importance to us (and all other beings!) but with no easy answers. Given as part of a series in the 2009 Buddhafield Festival's Dharma Parlour, where the theme was 'Truth and Beauty: Skilful Living in a Changing World'.

A personal and exploratory talk by Lokabandhu, looking at how immersion in nature and the natural world has nourished his Dharma practice through the years. Including many quotations from the 'Zenrin'. Given as part of a series in the 2009 Buddhafield Festival's Dharma Parlour, where the theme was 'Truth and Beauty: Skilful Living in a Changing World'. NOTE: part of the talk suffers from poor sound quality

One of a series of talks on the theme of 'A Force for Good in the World', given in the Dharma Parlour at the 2010 Buddhafield Festival in Somerset, UK. Maitrisara lives in Oxford, UK, where she's active in a wide range of community projects - as well as Triratna's EcoDharma centre in the Pyrenees.

In this excellent talk, Vajrasara explores metta (loving kindness), the subtle art of listening, and Kuan Yin, the mysterious white lady of Compassion.
