Dharma Talks
This site is an archive of Dharma talks given by Mary Grace Orr and other teachers at Vipassana Santa Cruz. The links will take you to talks by individual speakers. The download instructions provide technical information on retrieving the talks. Please enjoy the talks. These talks are freely available for download or to listen to in
streaming audio.
It is a 2500 year-old tradition in Buddhism to offer the teachings without charge. The teachings are totally supported by donations from the community called dana. Please help us continue to
fund and maintain this service. Click here to make your tax-deductible donation.
The fine print...
There are no charges for using this site. You may stream talks (by clicking "Play" next to the talk) to listen online right away. You may also click "download" to put a copy
of the MP3 file on your computer. You may then listen to this copy, burn it to a CD, and share it with others. However:
The vast majority of these files are covered by Creative Commons Some Rights Reserved license. You can't
repackage talks to sell to others (as opposed to giving them away), nor can you use only portions of the talks in another project or product. You must always credit the person or organization
who owns this Creative Commons copyright. If you give the talks to others, you must inform them the talks are protected by copyright in this way.
Some teachers, including most monastics, have placed their talks in the public domain, so even the modest restrictions above do not apply. This is an act of trust by those making these talks
available as an offering, not an invitation to take any particular action. We ask that you keep in mind that treating these talks as precious Dharma teachings is itself a valuable practice of
the teachings.
