In Buddhist Puja we ritually evoke the many qualities of the Enlightened mind. We use our imagination to open up to a higher vision of reality.  In this talk Jnanavaca argues that engaging with devotion, worship and beauty will help us open up to those moments where we experience something 'more'... more than self, more than our usual view of the world, more than the day to day mundane rhythm of daily life.

Central to the Buddha's vision was the idea that we could get off the wheel of our repetitive behaviour, repetitive behaviour driven by craving and aversion. There is a gap, a doorway, off the wheel of reactivity and on to the spiral of more and more positive mental states. Vidyadaka talks on where we can find that doorway and how to open it.

Subhadramati explores the reactive, mechanical knee jerk mind of our normal unenlightened states. But she says we can transition to a mind with more choice and more freedom to choose how we respond to what life challenges us with. The talk makes the point that we are not destined to repeat our habits for evermore.
