The five great stages of the spiritual path — Mindfulness and the mandala of integration
"Second in a series of talks on the five great stages of spiritual experience that develop and unfold as we progress on the Path to Enlightenment
In this talk Dayanandi covers the first of the five stages — integration and wholeness. Integration takes place in both horizontal and vertical directions.
This and subsequent talks explore the particular character and qualites of each stage, showing how each evolves out of the previous one and is the foundation for later stages of the Path.
Talk given at Manchester Buddhist Centre on 7th March 2011"
Seeing the Chapter House roof of York Minster and the effect it had on me reminded me of the process and visual power of the Mandala (Sanskrit for ‘Circle’).
