In today\\u2019s FBA Podcast, Kamalashila delivers: \\u2018Absorption \\u2013 After the Enlightenment\\u2019.

How do you get used to being Enlightened? What happened to the Buddha in the weeks after his breakthrough experience? Kamalashila explores these questions in two ways \\u2013 using the framework of the Western Buddhist Order\\u2019s system of meditation to shed light on the process that unfolded in the Bodhisattva\\u2019s mind and body as Enlightenment dawned; and connecting us imaginatively with the symbolism and image of Muchalinda, the great serpent, coiling his body protectively round the meditating Buddha.

Please note, there are a few words missing around the start of this talk.

Talk given on the FWBO International Retreat at Taraloka, May 2008
