Our
FBA Dharmabyte today is entitled Time
Traveling to the Time of the Buddha. Amoghavajra takes us back
2,500 years to the Kingdom of Magadha in Northern India to the
birth of a boy called Kassapa. He grows up happily and as he gets
older he becomes less and less worldly. This is the beginning of
the legendary tale of Kassapa, who becomes known as a superb
meditator and was foremost among the bhikkus for practising
austerities. From the talk and#8220;The
Tale of Maha-Kassapaand#8221; given on retreat at Dhanakosa Buddhist Retreat Centre in
Scotland.
