Listen "Three Visions of the Buddha"
Episode Synopsis
The Buddha as lover, as master of enchantments, as a vision of the sky. In this talk, Candradasa presents the story of the Buddha's life as a backdrop to three visions of practice, focussing on a progression through love and corresponding to the traditional path of ethics, meditation and wisdom. Myth, dream and archetypal images galore â€" from Jung and Star Wars to Giacometti and Jean Genet â€" as well as a healthy dose of sex, magic and death. But finally, we have the Buddha simply as a vision of how to know ourselves more fully and live our lives with a marvellous elegance of being… To help us keep this free, please think about making a donation.
