Worldly Winds snippet

From Dharma Tape History Detectives on Mon, 11 Jun, 2012 - 01:30

This goes along with the blog post I just published. Now that I have a better sense of the interface I realize I could’ve put the blog post here. Oh, well! So the wind blows. The point of this file is to demonstrate the state of the original recording, so prepare yourself for a lot of hiss and very little voice.

From Centre bouddhiste Triratna de Paris on Sun, 10 Jun, 2012 - 00:00

Sixième et dernière conférence sur le système de pratiques, consacrée à l'étape de réceptivité spirituelle.
