Launch of the new Dharmachakra

We're thrilled to announce the launch date for the new, free download and streaming service from Dharmachakra — Free Buddhist Audio

The site is presently in beta testing and will go live on December 1st 2006 — with over 500 recordings in various languages to listen to online or download. Many of the talks will be indexed and audio-searchable, to help you find the information you need quickly — and we'll be adding more every week. We'll also be making available (for the first time) an extensive, fully searchable, online text library of seminars and talks on many aspects of the Buddhist path.

Amoghasiddhi - Lord of the Midnight Sun

Vaddhaka can usually be relied on to give a pretty great talk - and this is no exception. Here we have a real treat - a terrific, energetic exploration of the green Buddha of the north: Amoghasiddhi (Dundubishvara), the Unobstructed One. This is kind of a multi-media affair - listen for the 13th Century Spanish processional music in honour of the Virgin, and a blast of Sibelius too! Marvellous.

Talk given at Padmaloka Retreat Centre, winter retreat 2001

Please note that some small noise artefacts can be heard occasionally on this talk due to a poor original recording.
