Adi Da Up Close
Audio/Video Library

On the first night of His formal Teaching-Work, on April 25, 1972, Avatar Adi Da gave a presentation of His "radical" argument relative to the activity of separation that is the root of all suffering and dilemma. When that activity is "understood", then the Real Divine Condition can be felt and Enjoyed.

This audio excerpt is from a digitally remastered recording that was released in honor of the 30th Anniversary of this seminal moment in Avatar Adi Da’s Teaching-Work. The CD is available from The Dawn Horse Press.

(Note: This Talk was recorded in North Hollywood adjacent to a busy highway, and the sound of traffic in the background makes it difficult to hear Avatar Adi Da Samraj at times.)

An excerpt from Track 5 ("A Basic Education In The Great Tradition") of the CD, Human History Is One Great Tradition, an Avataric Discourse given by Avatar Adi Da August 19, 2004.

In response to a devotee's question about Zen Buddhism and Spiritual Transmission, Avatar Adi Da discusses how the various schools of religious and Spiritual expression fit within one "Great Tradition".

Adi Da Samraj discusses how the various manifestations of Buddhism fit within the Great Tradition of human religion and Spirituality. Avatar Adi Da's Schema of the seven stages of life provides a tool for understanding all traditions based on the actual three-part structure of the human mechanism — the gross (or "outer" physical) dimension, the subtle (or "inner") energetic-emotional-mental) dimension, and the causal (or "root") dimension (which is the presumption of existence as a separate "I").

Avatar Adi Da also describes the qualities of real Spiritual Transmission in various traditions, and closes with a discussion of belief-based myths and how “religious provincialism” is transcended through the guidance offered in His Basket of Tolerance.
