The Four Special Practices

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Wed, 5 Jun, 2024 - 00:00
The Seven Point Mind Training tells us that we can change adverse conditions into the path to Enlightenment by compassion, by wisdom …and by ‘Special Practices’. But what are these mysterious special practices? In this talk Satyajyoti will explore what the traditional commentaries say about them, and how they are still relevant to us.
