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.

“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”

in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -- C. S. Lewis

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