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.

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.

As the founder of the Triratna Buddhist Community, I am very happy to have learned that by the end of this year more than a million talks will have been downloaded - that is a tremendous achievement.
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...

I love giving to FBA because thousands of people access our community's unique approach to the Dharma. I think this resource is one of our finest creations and feel proud to sponsor it.
Candradasa, FBA Team

It's exciting to watch as hundreds of thousands of lives are touched by the Dharma each year and, hopefully, made a little brighter by the experience of FBA!
Viveka, San Francisco, USA

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.

To hear the author's voice is to add a new dimension of meaning to his words.

The Three Lakshanas

a series of talks by Various

The Three Lakshanas:

"All conditioned things are impermanent...

All things whatsoever are devoid of unchanging selfhood...

All conditioned things are painful.

When one sees this with Insight,

One becomes weary of suffering:

This is the way to purity."

This is an excellent three-part series on the three lakshanas - or 'marks' of conditioned existence - as observed by the Buddha. Together, Jnanaketu, Abhaya and Saddhaloka, take a good look around the nature of reality as we typically experience it. The crucial insights explored point the way to a more meaningful engagement with our lives, and, indeed, offer material for a lifetime's worth of reflection.
