Success and Failure In the Dharma Life: What Fails?

From Taraloka Retreat Centre on Fri, 13 Dec, 2024 - 00:00
Talk 8 of 8. A summary of living the Shin Buddhist perspective, and 'taking it home'. The Shin Buddhist path arises out of failure… but what fails? It’s the failure of delusion to get what it wants. When we see this rightly, what happens? We move our trust to what is reliable – our connection with ‘the golden light’, ‘Buddhaness’. And we remove our trust from what isn’t worthy of it – our ‘calculating mind’ that wants to get what it wants. Emerging from the failure of the ego to produce the desired self comes spiritual death and spiritual rebirth. For experienced Dharma practitioners.

Shinran: Ethics and Wisdom Inextricably Interlinked

From Taraloka Retreat Centre on Fri, 13 Dec, 2024 - 00:00
Talk 5 of 8. Unethical action only occurs because of the delusion of self. How can we bring clarity to the process of selfing, and step out of the ego-drama of ‘me as good’ and ‘me as bad’? As Sabhiya says of the Buddha in the Sutta Nipata: “Good and evil run off you, like water off a petal.” What if we engaged with ethics from a deeper place – in fact, from a wisdom perspective. For experienced Dharma practitioners.

Padmasambhava - The Precious Guru

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Thu, 12 Dec, 2024 - 00:00
Nagavajri explores the semi-legendary figure of Padmasambhava. A scholar, philosopher, yogi, mystic and magician, he was called on to establish the Dharma in Tibet in the 8th century. Why was he needed? And what does this tell us about what we need to establish the Dharma in our lives?

Review: Concordance to Sangharakshita's Complete Works (2024)

From Windhorse Publications on Tue, 10 Dec, 2024 - 20:50

With this tome (1087 pages) Windhorse Publications completes its staggering publication of Sangharakshita’s Complete Works, all 27 volumes! One of the greatest joys of these volumes is the inclusion of previously out-of-print or never-before-published material such as various talks by Sangharakshita given in India in the 1980s.

The final volume, the Concordance to the Complete Works, is an invaluable, comprehensive, yet accessible guide, index, encyclopaedia, dictionary, as well as concordance. It is also full of quotations, as the publisher’s blurb states, ‘It answers...
