About this episode
Our FBA Podcast this week is called The Buddha Beyond Siddhartha by Dassini. The first half of the talk looks at the Buddha's early life and his battle with and the defeat of Mara. Then Dassini looks at the traditional Buddhist concept of time, and the division of time into Kalpas, inconceivably lengthy periods of time. The talk concludes by looking at the Dharma niyama, the order of conditionality through which the attainment of Enlightenment is possible. Please not that as this talk progresses there is some sound disturbance that gets louder as the talk goes on. Apologies for this.
