  • Open Handed Generosity

    Open Handed Generosity
    Jul 10 2021

    Buddhist generosity is ideally ongoing all the time, a simple application of our ethical principles - a flow of time, energy, money, and so on, in the direction of your heart-felt values. Giving is one of the key practices of a Buddhist, and one of the delights of the Spiritual Community. Ratnaghosha evokes how this is an area of activity that is crucial to an effective practice of the Dharma and the living of the Bodhisattva life.

    This talk was given at Cambridge Buddhist Centre, 2018.

  • Hatred and Love

    Hatred and Love
    Jul 3 2021

    With his usual warmth, clarity and good humour, Prajnaketu explores the mental events of hatred and love with great detail and personal reflections.

    “Not by hatred are hatreds ever pacified in the world, by love are they pacified, this is the eternal law.”

    ~ Dhammapada

    In the presence of suffering or pain, our sense of self is often diminished as we come to realize our efforts to control our experience to avoid pain don’t work. On the contrary, wishing ourselves and others well in the ups and downs of life, one is practicing the softening of the barriers between self and other and filling that space with love.

    This is one of several talks given during a retreat entitled Mind in Harmony at Padmaloka Retreat Centre, 2016.

  • Ethical Challenges In the Modern World

    Ethical Challenges In the Modern World
    Jun 26 2021

    What are the particular challenges we face in the 21st Century? There are many, and Vajradevi focuses on the mind precepts and our use of technology. This talk is linked with Akuppa's talks on '21st Century Bodhisattva' and drawing on the book '21 Lessons for the 21st Century' by the historian Yuval Noah Harari.

    This talk was given as part of a series at Shrewbury Triratna Centre, 2019.
