American Theravada scholar-monk Bhikkhu Bodhi goes live from Carmel, Upstate New York, in another one of his broadcasts on Models of the Path to Liberation in Early Buddhism (with simultaneous translation in Russian for viewers in the former USSR). Yes, there's Buddhism in Russia and there has been for a long time, by way of Mongolia and Tibet. In fact, Kalmykia is the only part of Europe that is indigenously Buddhist. But maps change, populations move, and culture persists, so that explains that.

- Models of the Path to Liberation in Early Buddhism 5-12/23 - BAUS
This year Bhikkhu Bodhi will resume his monthly Dhamma talks for speakers of Russian (and English) with a new series on the theme “Models of the Path to Liberation in Early Buddhism.”
In the sutras we see that the Buddha presented the Teachings on the Path or Dhamma in a variety of ways designed to meet the needs of his many audiences.
Some models are more comprehensive and general; others are narrower, intended for particular individuals. In this series, Ven. Bodhi explores four comprehensive models of the Path:
- the noble eightfold path,
- the sequential training of the monastics,
- the Seven Factors of Enlightenment, and
- the Seven Stages of Purification.
