This is the official youtube channel for Dhamma talks given by Ven. Thanissaro Bhikkhu at Metta Forest Monastery. Ven. Thanissaro and the Monastery are part of the Thai Forest Tradition of Theravadin Buddhism.

The talks average about 15 minutes in length. New talks will be uploaded here at the beginning of each month. The 6-digit number at the beginning of each talk is the yy/mm/dd.

The entire archive of evening Dhamma talks back to the year 2000 has been uploaded to this channel. Since there are over 2,500 talks here, a useful strategy might be to search youtube to find talks on topics of particular interest, e.g. a search string like, "dhammatalks.org jhana breath." Strangely, searching youtube gives better results than within the channel.

You may wish to visit www.dhammatalks.org where you can stream or download the talks as mp3s. There are also many eBooks available there to download.

In accordance with the Dhamma, everything is offered freely with no strings attached.
