<p>Partisan politics, hurricanes and earthquakes, mass shootings, nuclear threats … our world at times feels like a living nightmare. <a href= "https://www.freebuddhistaudio.com/browse?s=sunada">Sunada</a> reflects: How do we as Buddhists respond, individually and as a sangha? And how do we keep our sanity? Excerpted from the talk entitled Practice During Times of Chaos and Uncertainty given on a Sangha Day celebration at <a href= "https://www.freebuddhistaudio.com/search?s=0&r=10&b=p&q=aryaloka&t=audio"> Aryaloka Buddhist Center,</a> 2017.<br /> <br /> ***</p> <p><a href="https://freebuddhistaudio.com/donate" rel= "nofollow"><strong>Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!

<p>Here, <a href= "https://www.freebuddhistaudio.com/browse?s=prajnamati">Prajnamati</a> describes how a range of dharma practices can be seen as a finding of the point of freedom where a more creative option becomes apparent as an alternative to the more familiar reactive choices. In ethical practice this is developing a sensitivity to the wholesome quality of skilful intentions, in meditation finding a way of relaxing in to the practice and in sangha engaging in a free association of individuals, as an individual, from one's point of freedom. Excerpted from the talk entitled <a href= "https://www.freebuddhistaudio.com/audio/details?num=LOC3115">The Point of Freedom</a>, given at <a href= "https://www.freebuddhistaudio.com/browse?p=Bristol">Bristol Buddhist Centre</a>, 2017.<br /> <br /> ***<br /> <br /></p> <p><a href="https://freebuddhistaudio.com/donate" rel= "nofollow"><strong>Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!

<p>The Bodhisattva called 'Never Direct' saw the Buddha in everyone, yet his practice of bowing received a mixed response. Drawing on themes from the White Lotus Sutra, <a href= "https://www.freebuddhistaudio.com/browse?s=aryadasa">Aryadasa</a> delves into how different framings of the spiritual life can profoundly change our understanding of Buddhism and its practice. Excerpted from the talk entitled <a href= "https://www.freebuddhistaudio.com/audio/details?num=LOC6524">A Bodhisattva On His Knees</a> given at <a href= "https://www.freebuddhistaudio.com/browse?p=Sheffield">Sheffield Buddhist Centre</a>, 2025.</p> <p>***</p> <p><a href="https://freebuddhistaudio.com/donate" rel= "nofollow"><strong>Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!
