Summary: This week's FBA Podcast is a gem from Vajratara entitled: "The Buddha, The Bodhicitta and Bhante." Vajratara introduces the Bodhicitta in an easily accessible format: what, why and how. She starts with the symbolism of the Buddha's own Bodhisattva vow at the time of Dipankara, the previous Buddha. She also draws out Sangharakshita s unique understanding of the Bodhicitta and how that has shaped the Triratna Order and Movement. Given at Tiratanaloka on a retreat for women training for Ordination.
