Dharmabyte: Describing Nirvana

By Sadayasihi on Fri, 27 Jul, 2018 - 12:08

This FBA Dharmabyte is called ‘Describing Nirvana’ by Sangharakshita. Attitudes connected with goal-seeking are at the root of misunderstandings about the nature of Nirvana, which many consider to be Buddhism’s ‘goal’.

The full talk, entitled simply, “Nirvana” was given in 1966:  and is part of the series ‘Introducing Buddhism’.
