Resources

On this page you will find internal links to various resource materials, including translations of some of the classic Buddhist texts

It should be understood that publication does not imply that the NBO particularly endorses any resource appearing herein as the 'approved' or 'official' version. In the case of the classical Buddhist Texts there are many other translations available. For this reason the texts will appear on a plain page, rather than an NBO page.

Particularly for those non-Buddhists who visit this site seeking information about Buddhism, we would like to remind you that there are many diverse traditions & schools of Buddhism. Interpretations of basic principles vary widely from school to school, so care should be taken in drawing any conclusion as to the generality of any specific interpretation.

You will also find a number of links to other websites that can be quite useful as resources on our links page

Clicking on a named link will take you the item in a separate browser window.

Audio files of talks given at NBO meetings. These have now been taken off the website: we still have the files, so if you would like copies of any of them on CDs ready to use in any normal CD player, please email the webmaster for details

A Stroke of Insight Not specifically Buddhist, but so many of the Activities Committee commented upon it, we feel it well worth passing it on. Its about 20 minutes long. I have tried it out in all common browsers ~ Opera users try IE instead, as it doesn't appear to work in Opera
