Show Notes
For the next month or so we'll be entering the mandala with a variety of talks and reflections from members of the Triratna Buddhist Order. We'll begin at the beginning with "Entering the Mandala" by Vessantara for the first FBA Podcast in this series. Vessantara introduces Mandalas, in terms of personal, symbolic and specifically buddhist representations. He then invites us to enter the Mandala as a initiatory voyage of discovery and development, making reference to the System of Practice and the need to balance effort with openness. This talk is part of the series The Mandala of the Five Buddhas.
