Дхарма Будды на Шри-Ланке. Александра Штукатурова

Why do we return to Sri Lanka again and again, bringing groups here? It's not just because of the amazing nature, the eternal warmth, and the freshest fruit. We're going on a pilgrimage, incorporating many places significant for spiritual practice along our route. And if we're talking about the Dharma tradition, which has survived through the centuries, it's here that it began and was preserved, then spreading throughout the world. This is the first lecture on spiritual knowledge for the group, and we're holding it in the island's most powerful place—the ancient Buddhist capital of Anuradhapura. The Dharma came here 23 centuries ago (!), and we still have the precious opportunity to visit these places and immerse ourselves in a special practice—an energy found nowhere else, in places where, century after century, practitioners have pursued their spiritual quest within themselves. 00:00 – Remembering the Path of Buddha Shakyamuni. 7:40 – Three Vehicles of the Teaching: Shravakas, Pratyekabuddhas, and Bodhisattvas.
