Here are some resources for free downloading or streaming from many teachers, predominantly in the Theravadan and Zen traditions. I can’t vouch for every one of these sites/resources, but most of them should be high quality, and I can say that I’ve gotten a lot of benefit from many of the talks I’ve listened to from multiple sources listed here.
Though offered freely, in the spirit of dāna, if you find the talks useful and inspiring, it’s always nice to make a donation if you can.
