The Way to the Deathless (FBA Podcast)

From Free Buddhist Audio on Sat, 22 Mar, 2025 - 10:00

Awareness, or mindfulness, is the keystone of the Buddhist path and of any truly human life. The Buddha’s teaching on what awareness is and how to practise it is vast, and profound, and takes us far beyond what we might usually associate with the word ‘mindfulness’.

From Shabda Articles on Fri, 21 Mar, 2025 - 07:02

Introduction

It’s important that we understand why we do our practices so that we can be clear as to how well they are working and strive to increase their effectiveness.

As we move out of the 10th anniversary year of Adhisthana’s opening and into celebrating the 100th anniversary of Sangharakshita’s birth, our founder and teacher’s vision remains dynamic and alive.

Central to unfolding this vision are Adhisthana’s two single-sex...
