This talk has been given at the beginning of the Winter Retreat 2013. It is the third of three talks given by Padmavajra on The Stages of the Path.

Talk 3: Spiritual Death-Spiritual Rebirth - exploring Sangharakshita's poem 'Advent'; the contemplation of impermanence, death and our lack of any 'self-lordship' - Lahiji's vision of 'the black light'; bewilderment; becoming reborn in the Bodhisattva.
