In today’s FBA Podcast, Kamalashila delivers: ‘Absorption – After the Enlightenment’. How do you get used to being Enlightened? What happened to the Buddha in the weeks after his breakthrough experience? Kamalashila explores these questions in two ways – using the framework of the Western Buddhist Order’s system of meditation to shed light on the process that unfolded in the Bodhisattva’s mind and body as Enlightenment dawned; and connecting us imaginatively with the symbolism and image of Muchalinda, the great serpent, coiling his body protectively round the meditating Buddha. Please note, there are a few words missing around the start of this talk. Talk given on the FWBO International Retreat at Taraloka, May 2008
