Freedom From Polarization

From Croydon Buddhist Centre on Wed, 9 Jan, 2019 - 00:00
In this talk Padmavajra is introduced to the Croydon Sangha by Amarapuspa. Padmavajra explores the idea of freedom from polarization in an inspiring, wide ranging and very deeply Dharmic talk. He starts by remembering positive aspects of Croydon in the 1980's and then takes us on a journey through the vimokshas, the sangharavastus and the pratisamvids as we explore "a taste of freedom". This talk was given at the Croydon Buddhist Centre in January 2019 as part of our regular Saturday morning Sangha class.

Voices from the Insight Inquiry Project: Vimalavajri OM

From Order Insight Inquiry on Sun, 6 Jan, 2019 - 20:29

It’s not me that goes for refuge. I have felt a release from ‘me needing to do this’ - leaving life, movement, the possibility of change, transformation, enlightenment - without clinging to the idea that this is about me. In fact it’s not about me at all. It’s mysterious.

Dharmabyte: The Buddha's Decision to Teach

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 3 Jan, 2019 - 11:00

Today’s FBA Dharmabyte is called The Buddha’s Decision to Teach by Parami excerpted from the talk Out of Compassion for the World given at our International Retreat at Taraloka, May 2008.

The Buddha realised full well how hard it was going to be to communicate what he had discovered to other people - to us. He knew that the grip of greed, hatred and delusion is very strong. He could imagine how vexatious it might...
