Talks by Phiroz Mehta

After hearing Phiroz Mehta speak at the Buddhist Society, the Venerable Paññāvaddho said to him, “You have an unusual gift for putting things across. You should form a group to help people understand the background to Buddhism.”

Always a man of humility, Phiroz was reluctant: “It is true that I can manage to present things, but this gives people a mistaken impression. They think I know a great deal, but in fact I do not.”

Eventually pursuaded, Phiroz began holding meetings at Dilkusha, his home in London.

He had the foresight to tape-record his talks, and you will find them all in this section.
