La Sangha, simbolizada por la joya roja, es la encarnación de una amistad profunda y significativa. Además de la forma explícita, cada una de las Tres Joyas tiene una imagen esotérica. Para la Sangha, esta es la Dakini. Ella es roja, desnuda, libre, bailando en el cielo, con guirnaldas de llamas, la encarnación del interés mutuo y el deleite que es la sangre vital de la amistad espiritual. En esta charla, Rijumati explora la imagen de la Dakini y cómo puede tocar nuestras vidas.

Living What We Love - a Response to the Four Sights

Living what we Love (FBA Podcast)

According to the Buddha we see permanence where there is impermanence, substantiality where there is insubstantiality, see the unlovely as beautiful and the unpleasant as pleasant. How does this affect us? And even more importantly, what can we do about this? Yashobodhi makes the simple yet profound connection between ignorance and suffering. Excerpted from  the talk Distortions of the Mind given at West London Buddhist Centre, 2017.

The Way to Enlightenment

Becoming a Buddha (Dharmabytes Podcast)

Nagasiddhi traces the period after the Buddha’s going forth: as he masters meditation then turns towards extreme asceticism in his quest to overcome dukkha. Having taken himself to the brink of death, the Buddha-to-be finally realises that he must find his own ‘middle way’ to liberation. This talk is part of the series In the Footsteps of the Buddha given during a Buddhist Centre Online home retreat, 2021. This magical week-long retreat explores the images, myths and symbols of the Buddha’s journey to awakening using dharma talks, meditation, storytelling, puppetry and art.
