Welcome to the new Dharma Seed! |
|
Welcome visitors. We have created this website as part of our transition to becoming a fully virtual entity. Beginning June 1st, we will no longer be producing physical media. We do hope however that by putting our archive online we will continue to meet the needs of Dharma students for years to come.
Currently there are over 500 talks available here; as time and resources permit, we will be bringing several thousand more online.
We are interested in hearing your opinion of the site. If you have problems, comments or suggestions, please do email us at: contact@dharmaseed.org
May all beings be happy. |
