This week Tarapalita looks at the Buddhas very first teachings and why they are still as mind blowing now as they were then.

Tarapalita explores the crucial importance of having people we look up to. The Buddha himself said spiritual friendship is the whole of the spiritual life. This week is a very personal exploration of why that might be true.

In this talk, Satyaraja tells us about his teachers and his relationship with them.

We will be hearing about two Buddhist Women from the time of the Buddha and their paths. These stories have been passed down through the generations, as they had been collected in the Therigathas, a collection of seventy-three poems in the canon of the earliest Buddhist literature.

In diesem Vortrag erzählt uns Gunavira von Padmasambhava, auch als „Guru Rinpoche“ bekannt. Padmasambhava (Der aus dem Lotus geborene) gilt als Begründer des tibetischen Buddhismus und wird noch heute als der „zweite Buddha“ verehrt. Als halb-historisch, halb-mythologisches Wesen fasziniert er auf beeindruckende Weise bis heute.

In dieser Folge erfährst du, wer er war, welche Rolle er bei der Einführung des Buddhismus in Tibet spielte und welche Bedeutung seine Lehren bis heute haben.

In this talk, Arthaketu explores the figure of Padmasambhava and the dakini Suryachandrasiddhi - Sun, moon accomplished.

Unfortunately, due to an error in the recording, the last few minutes of the talk are missing.

In this talk, Tarapalita explores Padmasambhava by answering these three questions:

Who is Padmasambhava?

Why is he part of our tradition?

How can he be useful or important?

Padmavajra explores the idea of a portal, a gateway, passing from one space to another, and connects it with the concept of Bhardo.
