The Third Order of Consciousness

Communication with another can be a wonderfully connecting and liberating experience or it can destroy us. Recognising the mystery and interconnectedness of all things we find the uncanny ability to communicate meaningfully. Mindfulness, courage and renunciation are essential. Saraha invites us all, with practical steps, to notice and live freedom in Shunyata, connection in aloneness and the mutual co-arising of each other. Better than 1000 meaningless words is one word on hearing which makes the heart become calm. This talk was given at Adhisthana, 2025.

In Retrospect: A Conversation With Sangharakshita

Sangharakshita
Keywords
FWBO Buddha's Dharma spiritual community Nagabodhi Sangharakshita Buddhism history translation

Nagabodhi interviews Sangharakshita in a wide-ranging discussion about the FWBO's history and the continuing process of translating the Buddha's Dharma for the West.

At times the exchanges are more personal than is common as we listen in to questions and answers regarding a variety of historical features of the personal and public life of the founder of a new, radical spiritual community. What emerges is the clear sense of a complex man and of broad vision allied with a remarkable unity of purpose. The consistency of this through all joys and difficulties speaks volumes by itself. Interview conducted in 2007.

Feel the Fear and do it Anyway

Guests
Punyamala
Keywords
mindfulness craving freedom spiritual life reactive mind creative mind Buddha

Punyamala explores how we can bring our mindfulness to the crucial juncture in our experience, the gap between feeling and craving. This point - the point of freedom, also sometimes referred to as the battleground of the spiritual life - is where we can start to change the habits that bind us to the Wheel. It’s the point where we can move from the reactive mind to the creative mind, move closer to the Buddha. This talk was given at Sheffield Buddhist Centre, 2025.
