Hi.
Since i like listening to mp3 talks and such and have finally learned how to do it on my phone ( :oops: ) i wondered if there is anyone in particular you would like to recommend downloading and listening to.
if so, please post links to them here.

Hello,
i-tunes has a bunch of podcasts that are listed under buddhism. I haven't had time to explore them yet. That might be a good place to start.

Hi.
Yes, stephen batchelor is a nice one.
Actually, my favourite of the ones of the "godless religion..."-series is those where martine is talking... :oops:

Hi Fugen,
I really like Norm Fishers lectures http://www.everydayzen.org/index.php...rman%20Fischer
And I regularly listed to Buddhist Geeks....in fact how I found Treeleaf http://www.buddhistgeeks.com/category/podcast/

Zen Cast
http://amberstar.libsyn.com/
Although "Zen Cast" is not a particular "Zen" themed podcast, more "Insight Meditation" ...Quote:

Thanks Fugen for bringing up the topic.

The use of the word zen is far too often used for things having nothing to do with it whatsoever. Every time I pass it on a road near my house, I think to stop in and ask the proprietors of "Zen Nails" exactly what a "zen" nail is...Quote:

Hi.
yes, went through the stephen batchelor ones, going through buddhist geeks and everyday zen at the moment.
It's like life, its good practice.
some podcasts are good and some i wouldn't listen to again...
Actually this podcast is good for those who hadn't heard it before...

I'll give them a try. I kind of like the Minnesota Zen Center podcasts that I've listened to (That's Steve Hagan's center I believe.)Quote:

he hasnt updated in a while but the archives are there. Very practical and to the point, though some may find it "irreverant".
Irreverence is a spicy ingredient. It's great as a part of a whole meal, but it tires the palate if used too liberally...IMHO.
Reverence has its place, irreverence has its place.
Chet
Nope, you are right.Quote:

Ditto. Some talks I loved, some I could not even get through all of them. I like Vinny Ferraro alot more.Quote:

I've also listened to a few from San Francisco. I don't have a smartphone yet so I couldn't tell you how accessible they are, but I can get them all from my computer.Quote:
