Love, Death & Dragons in the Life (and ‘Afterlife’) of the Buddha 2

Love, Death & Dragons in the Life (and ‘Afterlife’) of the Buddha 2

A few weeks ago, Padmasagara gave a talk on the Buddha’s encounter with a hateful dragon or ‘naga’ inside a fire chamber in a woodland camp.


Throughout the night they both produced smoke and flames, and it looked like nobody would get out alive.


The naga wanted to destroy the Buddha!


But the Buddha tamed its fury through the power of loving-kindness.


In the morning, he coolly stepped out of the fire chamber with the naga curled up asleep inside his begging bowl.


The end.


But actually that’s not the end of the story! It’s merely the beginning…


This week, Padmasagara will be continuing this tale from the life of the Buddha, which introduces us to other characters, strange lights in the sky, miraculous events, near-death experiences, and much more.
