Hear from Peter, Prajnasri and Amalasiddhi about their personal favourite verses from the Bodhicaryavatara.

Prajnasri shares her experience of facing intense anger and blame using ksanti. Amalasiddhi tells of his connection with the myth of Avalokitesvara and how surrendering into something bigger has been his path to growth. Part 7 in the 'Path to Awakening' Sangha night series at Sheffield Buddhist Centre. The condensed Bodhicaryavatara is available on the Sangha Night section of the website at the time this talk was uploaded. Are there any verses which stand out for you?

Setting Up The Order And Movement (Triratna International Council 2019)

From Community Highlights on Wed, 4 Sep, 2019 - 00:00
The third in a series of talks from the 2019 Triratna International Council. This year's theme is major elements from the Dharma biography of Sangharakshita, Triratna's founder, which are of wider relevance to anyone endeavouring to lead a Buddhist life. Lokeshvara recounts some of his own encounters with Sangharakshita and highlights some great quotes to delve into three key areas: setting up a context for people to share their lives; "the fundamental view" of Triratna's approach to the Dharma; and ways to make decisions. An excellent primer for our day's conversation at the International Council (we expect the conversations will last a lifetime). For more, follow https://thebuddhistcentre.com/internationalcouncil
