From Enchantment to True Delight - Reflections On Stream Entry

In this rich, comprehensive talk, Punyamala sets out the path from effective to Real Going For Refuge using the framework of breaking the first three fetters and gaining Stream-entry. She confidently asserts that Stream-entry is attainable in this lifetime. Using Sangharakshita's terms for these fetters - habit, superficiality and vagueness - she gives clear, practical guidance, in a gently encouraging way, about how to weaken the fetters and develop spiritually.
