Dharmabytes From Free Buddhist Audio

Vishvapani traces his own relationship to the Buddha, from early family connections arising out of the turmoil of war to his experience of writing the book itself. In doing so he explores the tricky work of trying to engage with the imagination constrained and disciplined by the historical evidence. What emerges from his work with the Pali texts is a portrait of the Buddha and his world where it's impossible to miss the vital sense of a man questing for a coherent vision of reality. From the talk entitled Imagining Gautama given at the Cardiff Buddhist Centre, 2011, as part of the series Gautama Buddha on the occasion of launching of his book: 'Gautama Buddha: The Life and Teachings of the Awakened One' (Quercus, 2011). *** Subscribe to our Dharmabytes podcast:  On Apple Podcasts | On Spotify | On Google Podcasts Bite-sized inspiration three times every week.
