Zyrius comments that posting videos of good dharma speaking would be a helpful resource on this site. It’s true that there’s a lot to be learned from watching and listening to a great presenter that can’t be completely conveyed in written words. While there are no videos actually posted here (at least, not yet), Working Preacher has a very helpful series of short interviews about sermon preparation and delivery. These are not examples of preaching, but conversations with a variety of people who prepare and deliver sermons every week; yet even in these informal settings one gets a sense of the speaker’s gestures, tone, articulation, thought process and presence. Plus, the interview content, tips and suggestions are interesting and relevant.
Do you have suggestions for readers about where to go for online videos of great dharma speaking? What specifically should we look for that this speaker does well? How does he or she demonstrate the skills and techniques discussed here at Dharmically Speaking?
