Dharmabyte: How does Buddhism speak to us?

From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 16 Jun, 2014 - 20:00

Our FBA Dharmabyte today is an extract from the talk “Buddhism and the Language of Myth” where Sangharakshita explores the question: “How Does Buddhism Speak to us?”.

This talk is part of the series Ritual and Devotion in Buddhism.
