In today's FBA Podcast, we give you "The Buddha's Vision", the last talk in the "Gautama Buddha" series launching Vishvapani's new book "Gautama Buddha: The Life and Teachings of the Awakened One". (Quercus, 2011) When the Buddha finally sat down under the Bodhi tree and saw deeply into the nature of things, what had brought him to that point? And what happened next? In his final take on the Buddha's journey of the heart and mind, Vishvapani focuses in on the Buddha's experience before, during and after Enlightenment, bringing his nuanced, perceptive reading to the words the Buddha himself is said to have employed in order to best evoke his experiences as he struggled to give voice to them. A fitting conclusion to a wonderfully insightful series. Includes an adroit discussion of the issues around imagination and historical evidence, and how we can usefully approach the Pali texts as literature. Talk given in Bristol, February 2011. This talk is part of the series Gautama Buddha.
