About this episode
Can ritual help us put the conditions in place through which bodhicitta may arise? In this week's FBA Podcast Using Ritual to Cultivate Bodhicitta Vijayasri explores our reactions to the idea of ritual and how rituals can become meaningless. We then look at the concept of ritual as "entering into a realm of the imagination where we encounter Buddhas and Bodhisattvas". This talk was given at the Croydon Buddhist Centre in April 2016 as part of our regular Saturday morning sangha class, the first in the theme of "Transforming Self and World", in which ritual was explored as a method of putting conditions in place through which bodhicitta may arise.
