Colum, London, UK
FBA is my travel companion as I wind my way across the busy streets of London by bus, or take a train or fly. An invaluable guide through life, a priceless jewel.
Eric, FBA Team
It's a joy to work for such a noble cause as FBA, spreading the Dharma across the internet and into the 21st century...
Aileen, Shetland Islands
I live on an island far away from a Buddhist centre and am rarely able to go on retreats. It has been especially beneficial to me to be able to download so many inspiring talks to go deeper in my practice.
Ratnaghosha, FBA Chairman
As the Chair of the charity that runs Free Buddhist Audio, I am completely inspired to be making available Dharma talks and study materials to anyone who has access to the internet.
Jinamitra, Welwyn, UK
These recordings have been a key part of my life, especially as I don't live near a Buddhist Centre. With its excellent organisation and fast delivery, FBA is a unique resource. A pleasure to donate.
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.
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!
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.

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
