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)

I received the most delightful gift of the Dharma: an iPod with all of Sangharakshita's FBA downloads on it. I just love listening to my 'Bhante pod' and having Dharma talks so easily accessible.
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!

FBA lets me hear the whole of our community's 'voice', and sit in a room with Sangharakshita as he elucidates the Dharma as it was originally passed on to us by the Buddha, ie. as an oral tradition.

I love it when a deeply moving excerpt from a Dharma talk is randomly followed on my MP3 player by a piece of music, and then more Dharma comes randomly through. That pretty much rocks my world.

People's hunger for the Dharma is met openly and freely with Free Buddhist Audio. Our little centre library just cannot compete with all that is available here!

When I think about FBA, the inexhaustible lamps from the Vimalakirti Nirdesa comes to mind. With the internet, the capacity for lamps to light other lamps is inexhaustible. It never needs to stop...
Candradasa, FBA Team

Connecting with my own Buddhist friends and colleagues helps keep me inspired in my own life and practice, so it's very cool that I get to work on projects that help make this possible for others too.

Creative Symbols of the Tantric Path to Enlightenment

a series of talks by Sangharakshita

Hold on to your hats - it's 'Creative Symbols of the Tantric Path to Enlightenment'! If ever a Buddhist term was over-used in the modern West (alongside 'zen' and 'karma'), it is 'Tantric'... This excellent series is the antidote to many of the accompanying misunderstandings and misapplications - and is, in its own right, a vivid and exciting exploration of some of the symbols of Vajrayana (Tantric) Buddhism: the phase of Buddhism concerned especially with direct experience of Reality.

Series given in 1972
