From Plato to NATO of traditional Buddhism

Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana…what the???

Newcomers to the dharma are often confused by the many different Buddhist traditions that exist, where they came from, what they are, and how they relate to each other. Are they just like the different denominations of Christianity? How are they different? All of these questions and more are addressed in this fabulous talk by Winton Higgins called From Plato to NATO. It’s a great overview of the dharma’s key lines of development as it wove through and into Asian cultures in the centuries after Gotama’s death. A great big picture talk.

This was recorded at Beaches Sangha here in Sydney. I hope you enjoy being a virtual member!
