Mind and Its Potential

This is taken from the Discovering Buddhism at Home series by the FPMT. If you are interested in the video series, here's a link to purchase the DVD.

On a separate site, I've found a transcript of this episode.

e-Books from Fo Guang Shan Monastery

As there are 20 resources on this page, I'm just going to include the link, and not direct links to the English translation articles and eBooks at the Fo Guang Shan Monastery. Check 'em out - I just opened up and started reading "The Essence of Buddhism," and it's a really interesting look at the 4 Noble Truths.

Scroll through and you may find something interesting - topics range from the basics of Chan Buddhism to the Six Paramitas.

Two Brief Videos on Mindfulness

These are obviously snippets from somewhere else, but they are good pieces of Dharma, nonetheless.

Thich Nhat Hanh

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.

Online Versions of the Dhammapada

Here are the Dhammapada-related resources that I've collected so far:

• The Dhammapada - Older, html version, no record of where they got the translation.
• Wikipedia's article on the Dhammapada - Brilliant as always.

From Wikipedia, I've collected the following excellent links:

• From the Ancient World Texts: Dhammapada translated by John Richards
• Dhammapada translated by Thomas Byrom
• Dhammapada — from the Electronic Buddhist Archives
• Dhammapada: A Translation — from Access to Insight
• The Dhammapada — translated by Max Müller
• Sri Lankan Buddhism Portal - Dhammapada
• Dhammapada
• The Dhammapada
• Readings (mp3) from the Dhammapada by Gil Fronsdal

Also, see:

• Buddhanet.net's pleasant Treasury of Truth: Illustrated Dhammapada
• Dhammapada: Wisdom of the Buddha, trans. Harischandra Kaviratna
• The Dhammapada - Another copy of Max Müller's translation, but with relevant basic information.
• Buddhanet.net also has an eBook (pdf format) to download.

And finally, though this is not online, my favorite actual book translation is the following slim volume, which will fit in your pocket, you know:

• The Dhammapada - forward by Thich Nhat Hanh, translation by Balangoda Ananda Maitreya

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.
