Here Be Dragons: Pitfalls, Disasters and Dead-Ends on the Spiritual Quest

from Free Buddhist Audio · host Vessantara

This week'sFBA Podcast entitled "Here Be Dragons: Pitfalls, Disasters and Dead-Ends on the Spiritual Quest" by Vessantara. A hugely enjoyable piece – and something a little bit different from the average Dharma talk. For here we have the Buddhist path laid out in terms of Arthurian legend and the Quest for the Holy Grail. Knights, chivalry, adventures and disasters – it's all here. And, of course, true wisdom where the gallant, sometimes errant, hero least expects to find it. Just like in a story… Talk given at the Western Buddhist Order Men's National Order Weekend, August 2002
