Touching the Transcendent

From Taraloka Retreat Centre on Thu, 14 Jul, 2022 - 01:00
Love, compassion and wisdom are sewn into the fabric of existence. When these qualities arise in our own experience, can we recognise them, trust them, and allow them to transform us? And when do we dismiss them, or cling to them unhelpfully? Talk given on the June Women’s AOWE held at Taraloka in 2022.

Dharmabytes: Take Notice of Inconsistencies

From Free Buddhist Audio on Wed, 13 Jul, 2022 - 06:00

Magical Aspects of Emptiness

Kamalashila looks at our whole relationship to nature and the elements: how the artificiality in our lives can get in the way of seeing what things are actually like - and what we might do about that in practice! Kamalashila uses these reflections as a way into evoking a more natural, deeply encouraging perspective, one that allows us to open up to the reality the Buddha pointed to under the tree and let the Dharma transform...

From Buddhist Voices on Wed, 6 Jul, 2022 - 12:28

I’d be a bitter, burned-out trade unionist, I think, if I wasn’t a Buddhist…
