## Resource

Vajratara explores discipleship as a living, relational practice rooted in faithfulness rather than idealism. Discipleship is presented as a steadfast gaze on what we most deeply value, and a shared understanding of Going for Refuge that orients a whole life and is handed on through friendship, practice, and devotion. Excerpted from the talk entitled The Mysteries of Discipleship: Flowers and Garlands Will Be Placed In Our Hands given at Adhisthana as part of the series Women's Area Order Weekend , 2025. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!
