Buddhism podcast 4

Yes, here is the latest Buddhism (RPE202) podcast. This is on 'views' - and is limited by my being a bit full of cold - but hopefully still makes some kind of sense..

It follows up on the some of the discussions we have had in class regarding the way in which it might be not just the content of religious beliefs and ideas that matter in Buddhist thought, but also the manner in which the views are held...

Buddhism podcast 3

Hi, the Buddhism podcast 3 is now on-line.

It is short, and about Not-Self (Anatta) - and is really just a reading of the start of the Buddhist text Questions of King Milinda - which uses the idea of a chariot...

The text - to read along - is at: http://web.singnet.com.sg/~rjp31831/nagasena.htm

The podcast itself is at: http://www.archive.org/details/DaveWebsterPOdcastonNot-Self/

The picture is me 'podcasting', as some have said it is hard to listen without a mental image - not sure if this will make it worse or better...

Buddhism Podcast 2: The Four Noble Truths

Hi, the second podcast for RPE (Religion, Philosophy & Ethics) 202 Buddhism is now available. This is a longer piece - so is hosted in a different location to the other podcasts for RPE.

This podcast is a reading (by me) of the Mahasatipatthana Sutta, on the Buddhist notion of the Four Noble Truths, with comments and explanations. While I will give a handout to you in class, the sutta is also at http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/mahasati.htm

The podcast download is at http://www.archive.org/details/DavidWebsterFourNobleTruthslecture/ or on the Higher Education section of iTunes.

As ever - do let me know if there are technical problems (it is a 27MB file, so you may need the patience of a Buddha...)

Podcast for Buddhism module

Okay - if you want to listen to the 1st (technically the second, but the first one was a test) podcast on RPE202 Buddhism, go to http://pebblepad.glos.ac.uk/blog.aspx?blogoid=5503 and download the mp3. Then listen to it - simple as that...

We should have the rest of these - as done - up on iTunes, so that they will be proper podcasts - anyway - comments on this first one are welcome...

[I am aware of the sound quality/volume issues - and hope to address these shortly]
