Life and Death are Calling

from Dharmabytes from free buddhist audio Hosted by Free Buddhist Audio

Here Candradasa shares Ted Hughes' rendering of the Bardo Thodol, Tibetan Book of the Dead. He uses Buddhist scripture, vision literature, and poetry to tease out a sense of the Buddha's awesome vision of what life is, and how that might affect our ideas of what happens after death. Big ideas, big questions to sit with - all pointing to a practically beautiful experience of seeing things clearly in this life… From the talk Death and the Biggest Questions of All, part of the series Religion Without God, given at Portsmouth Buddhist Centre, 2012. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!
