From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Sat, 20 Mar, 2021 - 00:00
In the final talk in the series, Vajragupta responds to questions from participants: is Nirvana about escape from Samsara or is it the Bodhisattva Ideal? How would we know a Bodhisattva if we met one? And what’s our chances of gaining Enlightenment? In answering these questions, Vajragupta makes fascinating use of the teaching of the five niyamas.

What Is Nirvana and Do We Really Want to Get There? Talk 4

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Fri, 19 Mar, 2021 - 00:00
Vajragupta talks about Nirvana as seen in the early Buddhist tradition - as the eradication of greed, hatred, and delusion, and the cessation of the whole samsaric process. And then he explores how Nirvana was seen in later tradition - linking this to the Bodhisattva Ideal and the realisation of emptiness and compassion.
