Today\u2019s FBA Podcast is titled: \u201cGetting It,\u201d by Vidyadevi. Her brief here is \u2018study as a way to Wisdom\u2019, and she comes to it with a delightfully playful straightforwardness. As a means of exploring the \u2018Middle Way\u2019, she speaks of the various dualities and juxtapositions she has encountered in her own engagement with Dharma study over the years: theory and practice, metaphor and literalism, authority and personal experience, utility and beauty, etc. But she also speaks (and sings! Paul Simon\u2026) of the need for a lightness of heart and of mind at the root of it all\u2026
