Season Two of our online project to document 50+ years of people’s commitment and practice within the Triratna Buddhist Order around the world.

"Every day I need to communicate, every day get into communication with people… Within that, holding lightly to my own views and sometimes just letting it go and ‘not taking myself so seriously. So that’s an area of explicit practice for me."

Season Two of our online project to document 50+ years of people’s commitment and practice within the Triratna Buddhist Order around the world.

"It’s very difficult to practice without Sangha. 
Because you can understand things, but you need to transform
emotionally. So if you want to transform emotionally, you need to
share with your friends and colleagues."

Vajragupta (m) offers a Buddhist myth of the asuras, the Titan realm on the Wheel of Life, as a way of seeing and understanding the social and political times we are living through. In this myth, the Buddha appears in the realm of the asuras holding a sword. What does that symbolize? Vajragupta suggests it can be seen as a sword of fearlessness, a sword of truth and wisdom, a sword of justice, and the sword of the archetypal "king".

This talk was given at Cardiff Buddhist Centre, 2022.
