Episodes 27-36. Sūtra of the Eight Realizations of Great Beings
This 10-week series on the Sūtra of the Eight Realizations of Great Beings will explore its relevance in our digital age and the polycrises we currently face. Each session will include a 25-minute talk followed by an opportunity to share insights and questions, thereby welcoming diverse perspectives from practitioners and students.
As we navigate challenges such as AI, climate change, and social unrest, this Sūtra offers insights into awakening and ethical living. Together, we will discuss how these teachings can inspire us to be kinder and more focused on our service to humanity in these challenging times.
