Here Ratnavandana introduces the Brahma Viharas as a path to Bodhicitta, which transform our negative tendencies into Love, Compassion, Gladness and Equanimity. This talk is from an intensive meditation retreat held for mitras at Taraloka in 2021.

Speaking on a New Year retreat at Taraloka Samantabhadri explores gratitude: in personal relationships; in response to the universe; and for having received the gift of the Dharma in this lifetime. She includes a sense of lineage and of the spiritual opportunities for women to give and receive.

The imagination is the faculty by which we can liberate ourselves from self-preoccupation and increasingly identify and empathise with our spiritual friends, but this is easier said than done. In the third talk of the series, Padmasagara explores the obstacles that prevent us seeing people as people and suggests ways in which they can be overcome. Replete with quotes, stories and images from the Pali Canon, the Mahayana Sutras and Sangharakshita's memoirs and lectures, this is a rich, insightful and challenging talk.

Cette conférence sur Sangharakshita est la première d'une série de 4 conférences données à Paris pour vous permettre de découvrir l'Ordre Triratna et la vision de son fondateur Sangharakshita. Celui-ci nous invite à découvrir ce que signifie être bouddhiste dans le monde contemporain : se transformer pour transformer la société ; aller vers une société respectueuse de l’individu, du collectif et de l’environnement ; s’engager dans la pleine conscience, l’éthique, la générosité, l’amitié spirituelle et la bienveillance.
