Dharma, Sangha and Buddha - In Buddhism there are three, interdependent gateways to freedom. Called refuges, they are the expressions of truth that carry us home to the essence of what we are. These two talks investigate the way we take "false refuge"--habitual ways of trying to control experience--and the profound happiness and peace in discovering true refuge.
Richard answers the Sangha questions about hindrances during meditation such as noise and sleepiness and later discusses the Hindrances in general. Along the way he also explains the refuges and talks about the importance of intention in meditation.
