Summary

In the telling of the story of 'The Buddha's 4 Sights', Bodhinaga invites us to contemplate the people and events that have inspired us to change. What was The Buddha really like? We are told that the Buddha broke through into a radically different state of being, transcending ordinary human consciousness. What might it have been like to encounter that? There was something magnetic, awesome, mysterious, and powerful about The Buddha. Some people even 'WOKE UP!' just by being in his presence. This talk was given at Sheffield Buddhist Centre , 2026. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!
