'Seeking The Buddha Through History' - Vishvapani

Dependent Origination by Rodney Smith

This is the first talk in a series on Dependent Origination by Rodney Smith.



Second Talk: Co-Dependent Arising

Dalai Lama, the Four Noble Truths

We have just started to re-examine the Four Noble Truths on our Dharma Studies page and I have found these two talks by the Dalai Lama as a primer, they are rather long.

Noah Levine on Buddhism

Following the trend of many self-destructive youths, Noah Levine's search for meaning first led him to punk rock, drugs, drinking and dissatisfaction. Luckily, however, his search didn't end there. Having clearly seen the uselessness of drugs and violence, Noah looked for positive ways to channel his rebellion against what he saw as lies in society.

Author of "Dharma Punx" and "Against the Stream," Levine is now a Buddhist teacher, author and counselor.

At USC on Oct. 29, 2009, he talked about how he fueled his anger and energy into the practice of Buddhism to awaken his natural wisdom and compassion.

Dhamma Dana

In Myanmar (Burma), “The Golden Land,” monasteries and meditation centres speckle the tropical countryside.

Isolated from the many distractions of modernity, it is home to one of the most ancient spiritual traditions in the world: Theravada Buddhism. In the Theravada tradition, which is followed by over ninety percent of the Burmese people, freedom is not pursued externally; rather the Theravada Buddhists devote themselves to finding freedom within themselves.

Two sides of the same Coin: Buddhism meets Science

Further to the previous video this one highlights the connection of the Buddha's teachings to Quantum Physics. One caveat with the video, the "new age" sound track is a bit intrusive.
