Khemananda unpicks the meaning of meditation from his own 40 year experience, in a talk given at the NLBC Sangha Night on 7 September 2020.

Talk from the 8-fold path series by Kusala, given Saturday 9 May 2020.

“We spend a huge part of our lives working. The work we do expresses our personality, but also shapes it in many different ways. Over the course of a lifetime our livelihood brings us into connection with thousands of other people.

"For the Buddha, work was such an important part of the spiritual life that he made Right Livelihood the fifth limb of his Noble Eightfold Path. In recent years Buddhists have tried to apply these teachings in a very different context to that in which the Buddha lived and taught.

"In this talk Kusala looks at how our occupation affects both us and the other people in our lives, and offers a twenty-first century perspective on the traditional teaching of Right Livelihood.”

Perfect Effort is limb six of the Buddha's 'Eight Ways of the Noble Ones', or Eightfold Path. Ratnaprabha highlights how contradictions and paradoxes give a subtlety to the Buddhist approach to spiritual practice. So how does the great Buddhist poet Shantideva justify desire, arrogance, relish, rest and even obsession as supports for skilful effort and joyous energy (virya)? They are ways of harnessing the compulsive power of the eight worldly winds for creativity and real progress.
