  • The Preciousness of Human Birth
    How can we, in our busy, everyday lives, transform our awareness and turn our minds towards awakening? Paranita talks about the practice of the 'Four Mind Turning Reflections', the four reminders that work on our minds to turn them towards liberation. We will hear about how to reflect on the preciousness of our human life, the inevitability of death, the truth of karma and the dangers of samsara, to bring about a radical shift in awareness. Excerpted from the talk Ready Or Not, One Day We Shall Die given at Sheffield Buddhist Centre, 2025. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!

  • An Ode to Joy
    Smritiratna portrays rejoicing not as a mood but as a choice: a deliberate act. At least potentially we all have the power to rejoice, even when we are in the pits of despair. In this excerpt, he reflects on Beethoven who chose not to give in to deafness but to end his last symphony with an ode to joy. He sings the fifth section of the Sevenfold Puja ‘Rejoicing in Merits’ to Beethoven’s familiar tune. Excerpted the from the talk The Power of Rejoicing given at Dhanakosha Retreat Centre, 2024. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!

  • Listening for Mara’s Whispers
    Jvalamalini shares personally about her ‘quest for love’ in the Buddhist life, specifically what does Mara say to her to divert her from the path? And is it true? Excerpted from the talk 'I Am a Serious Dharma Practitioner Dedicated to Love' given at Taraloka Retreat Centre as part of the series Daughters of the Buddha, 2025. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!

  • Undoing the Divisions
    We are continually being bombarded with news about world problems including war, starvation, violence, inequality, climate destruction etc. One response is to just ignore these problems. Sangharakshita argues that ‘an attitude of withdrawal from public concerns to purely personal ones is not worthy of a human being’. Vimaladasa explores how we as Buddhists can bring a voice of sanity and compassion into the world and act accordingly. Excerpted from the talk entitled A Buddhist Perspective On World Problems given at Sheffield Buddhist Centre, 2025. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!

  • In Every Moment It’s Possible to be Free
    In the fourth part of a series of talks about the 'Going for Refuge and Prostration Practice of the Buddha Shakyamuni', Vajratara shifts the perspective from us contemplating the Refuge Tree, to the figures on the Refuge Tree contemplating us. Blessings or adhisthana is the way the Buddha responds to us, and all we have to do is tune in. How do we remain receptive? What does it feel like to be blessed and purified? What are we purified of? From the talk Contemplating the Refuge Tree 4: The Sprinkling of the Deathless given at Tiratanaloka Retreat Centre, 2022. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!
