Today's FBA Podcast is titled "Chetul Sangye Dorje" by Vajratara. A forthright and passionate talk, taking as its starting point the great contemporary Tibetan teacher (sometimes also written 'Chatral Sangye Dorje') and his relationship to practice in the Triratna [FWBO] Community via his giving of the Green Tara practice to Sangharakshita.
