In this intimate and beautiful talk, we hear five speakers explore the theme of blessings in a personal and honest way. By reviewing various episode from their lives they invite us to get a fuller sense of what receiving blessings might look like for us in our everyday lives. The evening was hosted by Maitreyabandhu and Surata, Padmasagara, Vidyadaka and Nityabandhu shares aspects of the field of blessings of their lives. This was recorded during the Going for Refuge retreat in the autumn of 2022 at Padmaloka.

What is our connection with the Dharma texts in the context of the Going for Refuge and Prostration Practice? With Dharma texts in general? And with books in general? Padmasagara shares his reflections on these three questions in this somewhat personal talk, making the case that far from being mere bundles of paper and ink, books - and Dharma books in particular - are portals through which we can enter other dimensions of consciousness and bring about the transformation of self and world. This talk was given during the Cosmic Refuge Tree retreat at Padmaloka in the autumn of 2022.
