Vajradevi explores bliss, happiness, joy and their relationship to the Buddhist path. What stops us feeling happy more of the time? Is there a difference between freedom of desire and freedom from desire?

The Compassionate Mind

From Cambridge Buddhist Centre on Wed, 7 Sep, 2011 - 00:00
Drawing together modern neuroscience, positive psychology and traditional Buddhist teachings, Ruchiraketu explores how compassion is an intrinsic mode of the mind, but one that can so easily be overwhelmed by another mode akin to fight or flight response.

He also looks at how compassion can be mistaken for one of its 'near enemies'.

This is the first of a series of four public talks, entitled 'Powers of the Mind'

given at the Cambridge Buddhist Centre March 2011

The Nature of Reality

From Cambridge Buddhist Centre on Wed, 7 Sep, 2011 - 00:00
Arthapriya explores the Buddhist understanding of what we call reality, and how it is less common sensical than we might imagine. In particular, he questions how much our 'outside world' is in fact so strongly conditioned by our state of mind.

Covering karma, emptiness, impermanence and galaxies, this is a wide ranging talk!

First talk in a series of three entitled 'Reality and what to do about it', given at the Cambridge Buddhist Centre, UK, in Nov 2010.
