Module 1: Foundations of Buddhist Theory I: An Overview · The Buddha’s Path

Introduction & The Life Story of the Buddha

David Oromith · 72 minutes · recorded September 12, 2023

David opens the Buddha's Path programme by outlining its twelve modules, then tells the life of the Buddha through a set of paintings, from the sheltered prince to the four sights, the years with different teachers, the night under the bodhi tree and the first teaching in the deer park. The talk closes with a short settling meditation. Questions cover the Pali language, how intention shapes karma, and magical elements in the sutras.
