About the series

An aspect of ordin­a­tion into the Western Buddhist Order is the receiv­ing of a Sadhana – a visu­al­isa­tion med­it­a­tion prac­tice. They choose one of the great archetypal Buddhas and Bodhisattvas from the Mahayana tra­di­tion to med­it­ate on and are ‘given’ the prac­tice in the ordin­a­tion cere­mony. Order mem­bers prac­tice their sadhana reg­u­larly over a num­ber of years, thus get­ting to know intim­ately their chosen Buddha or Bodhisattva. Each of the speak­ers in this series will be speak­ing about the Bodhisattva they med­it­ate on, so you can be sure they will be speak­ing from famili­ar­ity and love.
