Tasting the Bliss of Liberation

As part of Buddha Day festival, in this impassioned talk Padmavajra evokes the Buddha through the early descriptions of him, in particular the complete blissful freedom of his being. He discusses the necessity of an integration of the 'pleasure principle' and the 'reality principle', and finishes with practical pointers for a vivid engagement with spiritual life that leads towards the state of blissful liberation.
