From Cambridge Buddhist Centre on Wed, 8 May, 2024 - 00:00
Nagabodhi's book : The Boy, the Monk, the Man examines the life of Sangharakshita - audacious reformer, and for some a deeply controversial figure.

For this Dharma Night Padmasuri will interview Nagabodhi - two long time friends in conversation and exploration.

Adversity Into Opportunity

From Sheffield Buddhist Centre on Wed, 8 May, 2024 - 00:00
This week we will hear from Bodhinaga, Anna Hawkins and Dayasingha talk about how they have turned their own adverse conditions into their path to Enlightenment. With a radical change in perspective, we can think and act more like an Enlightened being when we encounter difficulties in our lives. How would we act in every ordinary moment if we were Enlightened? How can we act to be more Enlightened? In this series we will be exploring a powerful, pithy teaching that tells us how to do just that.
