Today's Dharmabyte features a beautiful reading of the opening verses of The Dhammapada, one of the oldest Buddhist texts. "Essential Expressions of Karma" is the opening track of the talk "Karma and the Consequences of Our Actions", which will be our next full length podcast on Saturday. Given by the lovely Ratnadharini, this talk was given at Tiratanaloka Retreat Centre, 2005 and is part of the series The Four Mind-Turning Reflections.
