Transcripts of Hillside Hermitage videos

Here are a number of full transcripts of videos posted on the Hillside Hermitage YouTube channel. Because the discussions in the videos are not pre-planned, and are often conversations between multiple people, some editing has been necessary in order to produce readable transcripts. I should make it clear that neither Ven. Ñāṇamoli nor anyone else other than myself are responsible for these transcripts, and so all errors and shortcomings are entirely my responsibility.

Ven. Thaniyo regularly posts PDFs of condensed transcripts of many of the Hillside Hermitage videos to the Hillside Hermitage Telegram channel. An easily accessible archive of those PDFs, as well as a range of other material from the Hillside Hermitage saṅgha, is available at the archive site maintained by GitHub user BBBalls.

RSS and Atom feeds for this page are available, and these can be used with a feed reader to notified get when new transcripts are added.
