Notions of Purity
Satyakavi explores how everything has the potential to become pure. How do we transform our energies to realise insubstantiality - the blue-sky nature of everything? We need compost - all our 'stuff' - and the faith that everything can transform, given time. Excerpted from the talk entitled Padmasambhava and Insubstantiality given at Taraloka Retreat Centre, 2026, as part of the series the Mystery of Mantra. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!

The Arising of the Guru Principle
Vajrashura gives the opening talk of Padmasambhava Festival Month at the Dublin Buddhist Centre by introducing the Greatly Precious Guru, Padmasambhava, and exploring his story in the context of Bhante's paradigm of the Manu, the Buddha, the Guru and the Terton (or treasure revealer). We are confronted by the fact that the spiritual life can be messy – but the good news is that the forces for the Dharma can win out. We are urged to seek out the treasure of the Dharma ourselves and, by practising it, reveal its riches to the world. Excerpted from the talk entitled The Revealer of Treasures given at Dublin Buddhist Centre, 2026. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!

A Simple Act of Clear Seeing
Bhadra introduces the archetypal magician, Padmasambhava, at a day for men in Bristol. He uses episodes from the magician's life to illustrate how engaging the imagination through ritual and being willing to make the journey of descent are key elements of a fruitful practice. Excerpted from the talk The Art of Ritual and Descent given at Bristol Buddhist Centre, 2016. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!
