In this talk, given at Manchester Buddhist Centre’s Triratna Night on 12th March 2018, Vajrapriya explores how Sangharakshita’s quote might affect our spiritual life and practice. Using the terms doing and being, he suggests how we can bring greater stillness into activity, and vibrant energy into calm.
