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!

When I visit FBA, time and space dissolve, I am in the company of a vast array of Buddhists from all around the world in what Vimalakirti calls the domain of the holy eightfold path of the Buddha.

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.

I make it a practice to act out generous impulses, even if only small efforts. Financially supporting the free availability of the Dharma online is a simple gesture for me which maintains a significant resource for others.
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.

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.
Viriyalila, Portsmouth, USA
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.

My meditation practice is benefiting from access to the led meditations and reflections for those times when I need a helping hand.

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
