Padmavajra explores what it means to come together in a Buddhist centre to practice the Dharma and why we need such places in which to practice together. He touches on the importance of learning the Dharma, inspiration, friendship and the 'bodying forth' of the Buddha's teachings in our lives.

‍In this stirring three-part series, Jnanavaca explores the‘The Root Verses of the Six Bardos’, which exhort us to make the very best of our human situation. Each talk looks at a different Bardo, those moments of potential when something new can arise.

The first talk is on: The Bardo of Reality

Abandoning all awe, fear, and terror of all [phenomena],

May I recognise whatever appeareth as being mine own thought-forms,

May I know them to be apparitions in the Intermediate State;

[It hath been said], 'There arriveth a time when the chief turning-point is reached;

Fear not the bands of the Peaceful and Wrathful, Who are thine own thought-forms'."

The second talk is on: The Bardo of Death

Abandoning attraction and craving, and weakness for all [worldly things],

May I be undistracted in the space of the bright [enlightening] teachings,

May I [be able to] transfuse myself into the heavenly space of the Unborn:

The hour hath come to part with this body composed of flesh and blood;

May I know the body to be impermanent and illusory."

The first talk is on: The Bardo of Life

Abandoning idleness -- there being no idleness in a devotee's life --

Entering into the Reality undistractedly, listening, reflecting, and meditating,

Carrying on to the Path knowledge of the true nature of appearances and of mind,

may the Tri-Kāya be realised:

Once that the human form hath been attained,

May there be no time in which to idle it away.

Hear from one of LBC's most experienced and inspiring teachers, Maitreyabandu, for an exploration into how Buddhism can help to reveal our truest potential.
