Dharmabyte: A Weak Spot in Reality

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 18 Nov, 2021 - 06:00

Maitreyabandhu reminds us that the Buddha was cautious to describe things that were best directly experienced. The Lakshanas are not a metaphysical description of reality. Impermanence, insubstantiality and suffering show us there is something wrong with our perception.

From the talk Self-Surrender and the Laksana of Dukkha, part of the series Towards Insight: Three Myths given at Adhisthana, 2020.

From Ask A Scholar! on Wed, 17 Nov, 2021 - 16:55

I am basing my question on the sections elaborating upekkha in the following: Kamalashila’s book Buddhist Meditation, Tejananda’s notes on the brahma viharas, and the course notes on the same in the fourth year of Dharma Training Course (the...

Dharmabyte: Being in Connection with Other Beings

From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 15 Nov, 2021 - 06:00

Parami touches on aspects of Sangharakshita’s ‘system of meditation’, and most specifically the area of positive emotion. Parami is an ideal guide for this sort of material, steeped as she is in study and practice engaged within the light of the ‘Bodhichitta’, and the Bodhisattva Ideal itself.

From the talk entitled The Awakening Heart given at Taraloka Buddhist Centre, 2006.
