Tibetan Book of the Dead - The Six Bhardos
Episode 734
samedi 6 septembre 2025 • Duration 53:42
Padmavajra explores the great text that reveals the realms between death and new life, where anything is possible in the Bardo - the 'intermediate state'. This is also an excellent introduction to the recent history of the text itself as it has come into the West and influenced practitioners and cultural figures in many significant ways. Overall, this is a challenging and insightful series looking at how a true classic of spiritual literature has relevance to our modern ways of living and dying. Talk given at Padmaloka Retreat Centre, 2005, as part of the series Tibetan Book of the Dead (Bardo Thodol)

The Dakini and the Skull Garland
Episode 646
samedi 30 décembre 2023 • Duration 46:43
Tantric Buddhism is concerned with the direct experience of who we are and what we can become. Its aim is to help us realize our potential by transforming the energy locked in by old habits, fears, and views. This experience cannot be mediated by concepts; it needs to be evoked with the help of symbols. Subhadramati gave this talk at London Buddhist Centre, 2020.

Meeting the Buddha Through Imagination
Episode 643
samedi 9 décembre 2023 • Duration 35:25
The Buddha lived 2,500 years ago, so how can we meet him and open ourselves to the inspiration and resources that come from him? Through imagination we can cultivate the capacity to meet the Buddha on an archetypal level. This can have a powerful effect, karmically speaking. We all have - and use - our imagination all the time, even if we don't realise it! We just need to learn how to 'use it' rather than having it 'use us' in a reactive way, i.e. instead of letting it be 'captured' by unhelpful, unskilful things, we can learn to let it be called to, seeded or sparked by the Buddha (and the Dharma). Imagination can be seen as a 'faculty' which we can cultivate. Satyalila offers inspiration and ideas for how to meet the Buddha through imagination. This talk was given at Bristol Buddhist Centre, 2019.

Creative Spaces and Sacred Spaces: Contexts For Transformation
Episode 642
samedi 2 décembre 2023 • Duration 50:53
Within the arena of the visual arts, the studios where renowned artists create their works have become the subject of intense interest and scrutiny.

Jnanadhara explores what these two kinds of spaces have in common. What can they tell us about the minds of the people who created them? What lessons can we learn from considering these questions that could help us live meaningful lives in today's world? Talk given at the Dublin Buddhist Centre, 2023.

Speaking personally about stepping onto the Buddhist path, Padmavajra shares stories of spiritual friendship in the context of his own life and reflected in the work of Gampopa's Jewel Ornament of Liberation.
