Hi all!
I have a question. Because of my eyesight or lack there of, i find reading difficult. i do enjoying downloading and listening to Dharma talks. What teachers do you think give great Dharma talks? Although this is in the Discovering Theravada forum, i am open to all traditions. Who is your favorite teacher to listen to?

Thanks!
Oh, i should say i am looking for audio talks. I download them at the library and then play them later at home without benefit of being online.

Hi Sattva!
Have you discovered Bhikkhu Bodhi's Majjhima Nikaya lectures?

They go with the suttas in the Majjhima Nikaya but if you didn't want to read them, they would stand on their own.

'I strongly recommend the talk titled The Insulting Truth...It certainly spoke to me anyway. ( from Ajahn Munindo's list ).
