Discovering Buddhism: Mind and its Potential (Kadampa Center) (November 13, 2006)

Via the Internet Archive (fantastic resource, by the way), here's a collection of audio files which are a part of the FPMT's Discovering Buddhism series. Here's the text from the Archive page:

Mind and its Potential is the first course in the Discovering Buddhism series presented by Kadampa Center. Discovering Buddhism is a 14-course series of introductory Buddhist theory and practice designed by the Foundation for the Preservation of Mahayana Tradition (FPMT).

Examine what is "mind," its nature and function, and how it affects our experience of happiness and suffering. Come explore the differentiation between mind and brain, mind as the creator of our experiences, and the implications of possessing a mind that has no beginning and no end. In addition, learn methods to transform destructive thoughts and attitudes and create a positive and joyous mind.

Kadampa Center, affiliated with the FPMT, is located in Raleigh, NC. For more information on the Center, see http://www.kadampa-center.org; for more information on FPMT, see http://www.fpmt.org.

Thây's Dharma Talks

I'm sure many of you know about these already, but I just found them on Plum Village's under-renovation website. There are several talks by Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh from a variety of locations, including his most recent trip to Viet Nam.

www.BuddhaBooks.info

This is a resource hosted by Ven. Kusala's Urban Dharma site. On this page you'll find a collection of .pdf's, video files and audio (mp3) files, as well as a good stash of collected eBooks, all related to the Dharma. There's lots of good stuff here, from a Buddhist dictionary to a story of two monks on a pilgrimage.

Online Dharma in the Gelugpa Tradition

Ran across some audio teachings sponsored by the Kadampa Center of Raleigh, NC. They vary in topic from beginning Buddhism discussions, to the wisdom of emptiness. In addition, there are two written dharma lessons - one .pdf on The 10 Non-Virtues by Ven. Sangye Khadro, and also "How to Buy a Buddhist Statue," available in HTML or .pdf format tri-fold brochure.
