Vihara Buddha Gotama

Return To The Original Buddha's Teaching

Audio & Video Dhamma Talks


Many of the audios and videos found in this page are the result of Luangpor Dhammavuddho’s thousands of hours of study and practice of the Buddha’s Words found in the Sutta and Vinaya.

Some of these talks went as far back as 1988/89.  It was in Penang Buddhist Association (on a monthly basis) in 1991-92 that Luangpor Dhammavuddho gave the Samyutta Nikaya (Hokkien) talks and, subsequently, the Anguttara Nikaya (Hokkien) talks in 1992-93.  Those days talks were recorded in cassettes.  We are very lucky that these talks survived throughout the years until their conversion to the current digital format.  A big thank you and sadhu to everyone who took the trouble to do all these as your effort did not go to waste.  Now we can still listen to these inspiring Words of the Buddha in our local Hokkien dialect.

Luangpor Dhammavuddho has enlivened these Suttas in his talks, and made the Dhamma strikingly accessible.  The Buddha’s teachings found in the Suttas are invaluable, and no amount of gold can come close to its worth!

The gems are found here, especially in the Sutta talks.  Herein lies the hardwood, so to speak.

The ambitious project started under the guidance of Rupert Gethin, a professor of Buddhist studies at the University of Bristol, in the UK. He is the author of The Foundations of Buddhism, a regular feature on college syllabi, and the president of the Pali Text Society, which was founded in 1881 to “foster and promote the study” of the texts that are central to Theravada Buddhism.  The article introducing it:  Let the Suttas Speak for Themselves.
