Free Buddhist Audio News - New Sangharakshita & Lessons from the Mafia

Welcome to the news update from Free Buddhist Audio, the free download and streaming service from the Dharmachakra sound and text archives. To receive more regular update information on the site, you can always subscribe to our own blog.

This week we have news of two recent talks by Urgyen Sangharakshita, which we've now posted to the site for your listening and downloading pleasure. The first is from the Buddhafield Festival 2007 - Entering the Sangha - and finds the man in splendid form in a summer field amongst the hot tubs and revellers.

The second - Recollections and Reflections on My Going Forth - is fresh from the Men's Order Convention, and has many a tale to tell from Sangharakshita's days as a wandering 'Dharma Farer' in India. It's also kind of challenging!

We also want to tell you about our brand new podcast for September - the splendidly titled Building an Ethical Underworld - Lessons from the Mafia - from Khemasuri.

To tell the truth, we would have picked this anyway because the title was just so good. And because we could put up a picture of Tony Soprano. Underneath Bhante. But it also just happens to be another thought-provoking and insightful talk from the Buddhafield 'Dharma Parlour' series. Listen and be inspired - and, well, not very afraid.
