  • A refuge for discovery

    Michael’s talks continue to inspire me to consider, question, and affirm my true nature. They have prompted many talks with family and friends about the world we live in and how we can effectively love and care for each other better. This podcast offers itself as a refuge from the world of hyper-materialism, to explore and discover what matters most in life. I am grateful for Michael, his work, and for those who continue to share these talks.

  • Hear and Now with Michael

    I have been listening to the teaching within this podcast for over a year now. I’m disheartened that I had never met him, attended his retreats or dharma talks in person. If I could only thank him for the many many ways he has helped to transform my life, the gentle and clear way he communicates his teachings allowing me to look inwards with the kindness and support he shares. What a gift he was to this world. ❤️

  • Best podcast for me

    I am so touched on Michael Stone’s ability to share his experience and learnings in common language on Buddhism. I feel like he is speaking to me, and guiding me on the path. His voice is soft and he is able to mix in small amounts of humor in his serious teaching. If you want to better understand the Buddhist teachings, I have not found any better source than this wonderful teacher.
