S3019 - Biographies of Buddhist Masters: The Story of Purna (1) - FGS English Dharma Services

New series: Biographies of Buddhist Masters Biographies of Buddhist Masters have been composed and passed down throughout the history of Buddhism. Each Buddhist master offers an inspiring, motivating, and moving account of how they come into contact, believe in, and practice the teachings of the Buddha. In this new series, Venerable You Lu introduces Purna, one of the ten great disciples of Sakyamuni Buddha. Purna, the disciple foremost in delivering Dharma discourses, was a privileged young man skilled in trades and business. What was he like as child? How did he receive a boon from the king? What led him to learn about the Buddha? Listen to the first of the four episodes on the Story of Purna to learn about this great Buddhist master. The Story of Purna is a new 4-episode series by FGS English Dharma Services. #biographiesofbuddhistmasters #fgsenglishdharmaservices #purna THIS WEEK'S DHARMA TEACHING: Speaker: Venerable You Lu Topic: Biographies of Buddhist Masters—The Story of Purna (1) Read Dharma Talk: https://fgsenglishdharmaservices.blog...
