  • Thank You!

    I only wish I had come across this podcast earlier -- like say 1968! So much wisdom I could have used growing up. Gil has become a regular companion, and I could not ask for a better guide. ❤️

  • A rare gem

    It might be the equanimity in Gil’s voice and/or his articulate and simple language that makes time freeze and invites you to pause, listen and reflect. So blessed to have discovered his teachings.

  • Nikki Mirghafori walks the walk

    Nikki Mirghafori walks the walk. She has learned and practiced the dharma including during her own very challenging times. When Nikki interviewed on my Beat the Prosecution podcast, she riveted me with her devotion to mindfulness and to teaching others mindfulness.

    You will thank yourself for listening to Nikki.

  • For more than a decade, my Buddhist academy

    AudioDharma has for more than a decade been a resource for developing my understanding of Buddhism as an ethical and religious system, both in theory and practice.

    The variety, volume and timespan of speakers and topics is as comprehensive as you will find anywhere.

    I highly recommend this podcast for another with an interest in Buddhism.
