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!

The Ordination Acceptance Vows

a series of talks by Padmavajra

But really this an evocation of the Bodhisattva's path, the verses themselves being rooted deeply in that most inspiring and challenging of traditions that should make any Buddhist reconsider the meaning of aspiration and commitment on the spiritual path.
