The Clear Light of Reality (Dharmabytes Podcast)

From Free Buddhist Audio on Tue, 23 Sep, 2025 - 15:31

According to Tibetan tradition, in the bardo, an ‘intermediate state’ in the endless round of birth and death, we are free for an instant from that round. The Tibetan book of the Dead (Bardo Thodol) describes six of these opportunities for escape from reactivity. From the talk Psycho-Spiritual Symbolism in the Tibetan Book of the Dead given by Sangharakshita as part of the series Aspects of Buddhist Psychology, 1967.

Life and Death are Calling (Dharmabytes Podcast)

From Free Buddhist Audio on Tue, 23 Sep, 2025 - 14:40

Here Candradasa shares Ted Hughes’ rendering of the Bardo Thodol, Tibetan Book of the Dead. He uses Buddhist scripture, vision literature, and poetry to tease out a sense of the Buddha’s awesome vision of what life is, and how that might affect our ideas of what happens after death. Big ideas, big questions to sit with - all pointing to a practically beautiful experience of seeing things clearly in this life… From the talk Death and the...

The Journey and The Guide Online

From London Buddhist Centre on Tue, 23 Sep, 2025 - 11:28

People often say that if they were religious, they’d be a Buddhist. Maitreyabandhu’s book and course The Journey and the Guide challenges you to find out.‍

What we need is an opportunity to test-drive Buddhism and meditation – this course is that test-drive. Over eight weeks, we’ll take up Buddhism in principle and in practice, and by the end, you’ll know what Buddhism is – and if you’re a Buddhist or not.

The course is ideal for those who are new to the ...

10. Equanimity: This Is The Way Things Are

From Taraloka Retreat Centre on Tue, 23 Sep, 2025 - 00:00
Equanimity is the deepest level of metta: metta imbued with seeing reality. Maitrisiddhi brings in Kisa Gotami, Hiroshima and her own mother's death. Can we hold the paradox of loving, yet letting go? Can we drop the drama, and see the mettaful action that we could actually take? From the 'Living in the Mandala: Brahma Viharas' retreat at Taraloka.
