Essentials of Theravada Buddhism Parts 1 & 2

from Common Threads: An Interfaith Dialogue · host Fred Stella

What a bonus! I found this cassette that was simply marked "June 8, 1999." I popped it in, & found that it was an interview that I did with my dear brother.  What makes this ever so special is that we had just recently seen one another for the 1st time in 7 years. He had been in Thailand, Sri Lanka, Burma & Australia during that period.As you'll hear, he describes his life as a monk in a very austere order. Those years also had him studying for his Ph.D at the University of Western Australia in Renaissance  Italian Studies.It was such a joy to hear this conversation that happened over 2 decades ago. In 2014 my little brother passed away much too early. He was only 55. So I'm glad we have this with which to remember him.You'll note that next to his rich baritone voice I kinda sound like Minnie Mouse. Not even Mickey--Minnie! Theme music "Nigal."
