Bhante Sangharakshita's 'A Survey of Buddhism' is an incredibly rich and dense work in which he expounds on all of the essential doctrines in Buddhism. For this very reason the book may come across as a slightly daunting subject of study.
In this talk, Dharmadipa shares his knowledge and expertise in relation to studying the Dharma, and in particular how to approach Bhante's Magnum Opus, 'A Survey of Buddhism'.
In these talks, four speakers from the Ordination Team evokes the nature of the secret (guhya) refuges from the Buddhist tantric tradition; the Guru, the Yidam and the Dakini.
Who and what are they? What is their meaning for us? And how does one go for refuge to them?
The two talks that were given during the Great Gathering last weekend are now available online.
