Leaving the Buddha Behind

Leaving the Buddha Behind

Talk given by Tarapalita on 2025-11-08.

In this talk, Tarapalita explores the Buddha’s teaching in the Meghiya Sutta, a clear and practical teaching on the conditions that support genuine spiritual progress.

The Buddha outlines five key factors that lead to what he calls the heart’s release: regular contact with spiritual friends, a wholehearted commitment to ethics, careful and kind speech, the cultivation of refined and skilful energy (especially in meditation), and deep insight into impermanence and the nature of reality. Together, these conditions shape a life that naturally moves towards freedom rather than clinging.

Enjoyed this talk? You are warmly invited to visit Buddhistisches Tor Berlin in Kreuzberg in person. Join us for meditation, Dharma talks, and courses that support practice in everyday life.
