Talk given by Tarapalita on 2026-09-19. 

What do Buddhists mean when they speak of demons?

In this talk, Tarapalita explores Padmasambhava, the great tantric master and "demon tamer", and asks what it might mean to encounter the darker, wilder, and more powerful forces within ourselves and in the world. Rather than simply rejecting or repressing these energies, can we meet them, transform them, and recover something vital through doing so?

A talk about Padmasambhava, personal and collective demons, and finding deeper sources of energy for the Dharma life.
