Speaking from his heart, Satyadaya encourages us to make good use of those moments of inspiration and bliss which can often arise at the festival. It is so easy for us to get home afterwards and forget, falling back into old habits, losing sight of the potential for growth and community that we experienced. And, though he admits he's no gardener, Satyadaya goes on to suggest a thing or two about how we might continue to plant the seeds of transformation for the future. From the talk entitled The Seeds of Inspiration given in the Dharma Parlour tent at Buddhafield 2022, as part of the series Seeds of the Heart. ***
