What Do You Expect?

<p><em>Talk given by Tarapalita on 2026-08-01. </em></p><p>What could you realistically expect to happen over the next 10 to 20 years if you practise the Dharma with sincerity?</p><p>Drawing on personal experience, this talk explores ten reflections on what may unfold through long term Buddhist practice. Some changes may be fairly predictable: deeper self knowledge and integrity, a growing wish to love and protect others, glimpses into the nature of reality that transform the way we see life, increasing freedom from self obsession, liberation from the weight of a deluded materialist culture, the revitalisation of the mythic at the centre of life, and a happier, more joyful heart and mind.</p><p>But the path also brings developments that are far less obvious. </p><p>Enjoyed this talk?
