Talk Details

Ordinary experience is governed by the endless round of the Wheel of Life, which can be gradually halted by treading the spiral path to Enlightenment until progress becomes irreversible.

N.B. Poor original recording, with considerable deterioration on final track.

Talk given in 1965.
