The House of Inner Tranquillity PodcastAuthor: The House of Inner Tranquillity Podcast
The House of Inner Tranquillity is a Buddhist Insight meditation centre located in south-west England. The centre was established in 1980 for those in search of a practical approach to the Buddha's teaching. Stripped of ritual and cultural accretions, the path is presented in a manner ideally suited to the needs of the modern westerner. Today, just as in the times of the Buddha, someone committed to truth can travel right to the end of the path and realise the goal of enlightenment. Countless talks on all aspects of the Buddha's teaching have been given at the Centre over the years. We have created these weekly podcast programmes as a way to make some of these talks available to a wider audience.

Friday, 27 February, 2026
An article in a Buddhist journal suggested that it is not possible torealise enlightenment in our times because there is too much greed,hatred and delusion. The best we can do, they say, is to practice theparami and hope for a rebirth where conditions are more favourable.This talk debunks that idea, pointing out that the gateway toenlightenment is guarded by nothing but our own ignorance and innerdemons. The talk discusses the four things that the Buddha said thatlead to the growth of wisdom.Paul Harris is the Spiritual Head and principal meditation teacher at the House of Inner Tranquillity.This talk was given in April 2013
