Our goal is to reveal what's on <a style="font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; color: #1ba4dd; cursor: pointer; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;" href="http://www.freebuddhistaudio.com/">Free Buddhist Audio</a>'s cassette archives while raising money for the site!</p>

Both audio and transcripts will be posted permanently on the site over the course of the next several months.</p>

If you (alone or with a group of friends) sponsor a recording at ₤30, that's ₤3 an hour -- quite a bargain! Any amount will start the process, though, so don't be afraid to offer a smaller amount.</p>

You're also welcome to sponsor the general effort rather than a specific talk. Thanks for your support; we're excited to listen to the tapes and make them available to everyone online.</p>
