Most religions are fairly open source and not really hackerish.
Does Dhamma org actually publish the discourses? I got the feeling they were only available via the retreats, but have been leaked.
- deobald 8y agoThey are published (not leaked) on YouTube in video format. They're also written down and published as a book: https://store.pariyatti.org/Art-of-Living-The-English-br-spanVipassanaspan_p_3196.html https://store.pariyatti.org/Art-of-Living-The-English-br-spa... "Art of Living" can be off-putting thanks to its use elsewhere. It took me a long time to realize that "Art of Living" as Goenka uses it has nothing to do with (Sri Sri) Ravi Shankar's church or the business he's built on top of it. Ravi Shankar was actually a student of Goenka's who went on to sell meditation later in life with The Art of Living Foundation. There's no connection between the two organizations.

- _emacsomancer_ 8y ago(Vedic) Hinduism historically was not: scriptures were only transmitted orally; the priests made sure to recite quickly/mutter so onlookers (onhearers?) could not get hold of the texts. All of the Vedic texts have long been published at this point so this is no longer the case.
