FBA transmits some of the best talks given by members of the Triratna Buddhist Order. A friend in Hamburg can now listen to a talk given in India, or England, within hours of its original delivery!
Candradasa, FBA Team
I love the possibilities the internet opens up for communicating our values. It's been an amazing journey that's seen FBA grow from a small tape company into a major online space for Buddhist audio!

To hear the author's voice is to add a new dimension of meaning to his words.

FBA is a great resource for women Triratna Buddhists to be able to share their Dharma teaching and practices with others around the world.

As the founder of the Triratna Buddhist Community, I am very happy to have learned that by the end of this year more than a million talks will have been downloaded - that is a tremendous achievement.

I love supporting FBA.I encourage you to support FBA as there is a massive amount of work behind the scenes and it all costs money. Every little bit helps.
Viriyalila, FBA Team
Supporting donations help us to keep FBA freely available to thousands of people all over the world. Giving the gift of the Dharma is the greatest gift of all. (The Dhammapada)
Nagabodhi, London, UK
FBA's work means, among other things, that we are much less likely to turn into a galaxy of disconnected centres, and more able to evolve and develop as a unified and harmonious Dharma community.

Human Enlightenment

a series of talks by Sangharakshita

'Human Enlightenment' comprises three lectures, given in New Zealand, and provides a clear, concise and jargon-free introduction to the essence of Buddhism: the ideal of Enlightenment, meditation as the way to that ideal, and the free association of committed individuals as the best context in which to pursue the ideal. Simple really.

Series given in 1975

1. The Ideal of Human Enlightenment

2. What Meditation Really Is

3. The Meaning of Spiritual Community
