3000+ Dhamma Talks

Portable Dhamma Talks Envisioned

 

You can browse and download our Dhamma Talks in three ways:

  1. By monastic's name and face. Included on this page are also links to short biographies of each monastic, as well as a link to their monastery of residence. By learning more about a given monastic who's speaking, this can give each Dhamma Talk more context.
  2. By "collection." We receive our Dhamma Talks from other monasteries on Data CDs (which we call "collections"), each holding as much as 700 MB. There are over 100 of these collections available for download. We store and track them by the collection, and allow you to download by the collection as well. This is especially useful for those of you who want to keep track of which collections you do and don't already have (which helps you to collect them all more easily, over time). We have lots of bandwidth to spare, so feel free to download all the collections. Once downloaded, you can locally search the whole collection on your computer very quickly in your favorite "jukebox" program (such as iTunes).
  3. From a huge, "flat" list. We keep a complete list of all the MP3's in all our collections, which we call "Birken's Theravada Buddhist Dhamma Talk Master List." Be warned: this page is so huge that your web browser may be brought to a crawl. So we ask your patience while this huge page loads. Once loaded, you'll be able use your web browser's "Find" tool (press Ctrl+F) to effectively search for keywords, topics and monastic's names in all the titles, collection names, etc. in our entire collection, all at once.
