Dharma talks are an important part of the Buddhist teaching traditions.  They help integrate your "felt" experiences during meditation to the concepts discussed. 

Click on blue navigation buttons to go to Audios listed by Topic or Date.  The TOPIC button leads to a list organized around the different aspects of  Buddhist principles and practices that we explore thematically.  There will be a brief explanation of the topic of the MP3 recording listed with each title.  The DATE button refers to the same topics, but organized around the date the recording was made. 

My sincere desire is for the discussions you may hear from this site to inspire you to deepen your understanding of the dharma and to ease your spiritual growth.  I've devoted significant time in my life to understanding the teachings.  However, I can't be certain that what I've said is truly representative of the classical Buddhist teachings.  As Buddhism has been transmitted down through the centuries and traveled from culture to culture, the teachings have been changed (no surprise there; Buddhism emphasizes the conditional nature of reality).  I believe our culture adds the influences of psychological research, Judeo-Christian influences, democratic principles and feminism to the already rich mix.  I take full responsibility for any misinterpretations or awkward concepts I may have contributed to the process.

As the Buddha often said, the teachings can only be validated by your direct experience.  I hope you benefit from these offerings, validated by your own deeply felt experience.  I wish you well.  Peter Carlson
