Nagabodhi, London, UK
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.

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.
Kuladharini, Glasgow, UK
I love FBA! The biggest online Buddhist library in the world! Fantastic resource! 24 hours a day! For any serious Dharma practitioner! Highly recommended! *Kiss*!

My meditation practice is benefiting from access to the led meditations and reflections for those times when I need a helping hand.
Eric, FBA Team
I am thrilled and honoured to be a part of the FBA team. Working with other Buddhists provides an opportunity to build incredibly close relationships based on genuine trust, caring, and common values.
Candradasa, FBA Team
I love the possibilities the internet opens up for communicating our values. It's been an amazing journey that's seen FBA grow from a small tape company into a major online space for Buddhist audio!
Padmatara, San Francisco, USA
Being in San Francisco, I value the easy access to talks from so many different people in the Triratna Buddhist Order - not just the famous ones! It makes me feel connected. A bit like Pirate Radio!
Coleen, FBA Team
I don't know what to say to express the gratitude I feel to have been so privileged to be able to work on Dharma talks produced by the finest minds in the Triratna community.

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.
