He begins with a verse from the Udana and proceeds to outline the cyclic and progressive trends in conditionality. Jnanadhara discusses the importance of faith/shraddha and an exploration of the functioning of carving/trsna and attachment/upadana. It finishes with a quote from the 'Tibetan Book of the Dead'. This talk was given at Sudarshanaloka Retreat Centre and is part of the series Buddhism for Today – and Tomorrow Revisited , 2026. The original series by Sangharakshita is now digitally remastered!
