Today’s FBA Dharmabyte, is a lovely reading of the story of “Meghiya” by Sangharakshita.
Beautifully read by Sangharakshita, these readings are taken from the oldest scriptural texts and evoke the real spirit of early Buddhism – the struggles, the joys and the triumphs of ordinary people who followed the path to Truth.
The “Readings from the Pali Canon” was recorded in 2000 to mark the Digital Legacy project to begin transferring Dharmachakra’s archive to digital format!
