2023 Jataka Sesshin - Day 3: The Buddha as a Child of an Ogre
Recorded on October 16, 2023; the 3rd day of the annual Jataka Sesshin held at the Vermont Zen Center.
Roshi Rafe Martin explores the Padakusalamanava Jataka (#432 from the Pali Jataka) in which the Buddha is born as the child of an ogre.
Jatakas are stories told by the Buddha 2500 years ago of his past lives. They were one of his central ways of teaching. Through these tales he resolved complex issues in his Sangha by revealing root causes and demonstrating the working of cause and effect.
