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.
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.

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

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

An incredibly useful resource with huge potential for educating the sangha and bringing practitioners together. I particularly like its one-stop-shop aspect: whatever it is, it's bound to be on FBA!
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.
Mary, FBA Team

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.

Two Lectures to a Conference on the Nature of Reality: Buddhism as Transformation

a series of talks by Sangharakshita

'Two Lectures to a Conference on the Nature of Reality – Buddhism as Transformation' is another academically tilted brace from Sangharakshita, this time from the U.S.A. It's pretty brainiac stuff - including a great re-visiting of the traditional Eightfold Path with a take on it that's not usually brought out in lectures like these. Formidably detailed but well worth the effort - an ultimately hopeful and inspiring vision of the possibilities in a Buddhist life.

Series given in 1994

1. The Twenty-Four Nidanas

2. The Transcendental Eightfold Path
