Burbea

A quiet listening library for Rob Burbea's dharma talks

Burbea is a free listening library for the dharma talks of Rob Burbea (1965–2020), the much-loved teacher at Gaia House and author of Seeing That Frees. It gathers 549 talks — including 89 guided meditations — recorded between 2005 and 2020, spanning early insight meditation and mettā retreats, the samādhi and jhāna teachings, the emptiness practices, and the later Soulmaking Dharma, organized into 79 retreats and series.

Nearly every talk has a full transcript to read alongside the audio, and search spans titles, descriptions, and transcript text. Where an AI-enhanced recording exists you can choose between it and the original, and listening progress syncs across web and mobile. Burbea is an unofficial app; the Hermes Amāra Foundation remains the canonical source for audio, transcripts, and provenance.
