Vishvapani gave a series of talks in 2011 to promote his book 'Gautama Buddha: The Life and Teachings of the Awakened One' (Quercus, 2011).

Here we have a glimpse into the Buddha's ability to dialogue with kindness and curiousity as he radiated a force field of loving kindness in a society full of debate and discourse. Rather than getting involved in a tit-for-tat argument, the Buddha tried to understand how others think and what is of value to them.

From the talk entitled The Buddha's Personality, given at London Buddhist Centre as part of the series Gautama Buddha, 2011.
