Free Dharma wherever you are...

Sravaniya, Boston, USA

To hear the author's voice is to add a new dimension of meaning to his words.
Viveka, San Francisco, USA

In a famous Sutra, the walls and doors of the enlightened Vimalakirti's house disappear to accommodate hundreds of thousands of beings accompanying Manjusri on a visit. FBA has that kind of magic.
Buddhasiha, Ipswich, UK

Hearing the Dharma, rather than reading the Dharma, very much inspires me. If I feel things are flagging, a talk from Free Buddhist Audio can lift me - it can get my sense of inspiration and sraddha really moving!
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!
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)
Advayasiddhi, Denmark

At FBA, sangha members can listen to Sangharakshita, hear him say things in his own voice, talk about the Dharma in his own way. And through that people here build up their own relationship with him.
Ratnachuda, South London, UK

What I value about Free Buddhist Audio is the range of talks and texts from the past, right up to the present day.
Vajradarshini, Valderrobres, Spain

I live in Spain so have no Buddhist Centres or Libraries close at hand and FBA is like having an excellent Dharmic library right here. Listening to the Dharma is a whole practice in itself!
