  • This was a huge disappointment. I love this man but there are so many little jokes, and the crowd is just cackling along. Especially one particular lady who constantly laughs so loud, like it's the first joke she's ever heard. So anyway, we get to the end where it's finally serious, and he just gives this basic, run of the mill breathing exercise. Disappointing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 248 - Bringing the Dhamma to Africa with Bhante Buddharakkhita, PhD & Vincent Moore
Q: What kind of promotion or visibility would you like for your work, and where can people find information?
Bhante suggests focusing on education and the African Buddhist High School as a flagship effort, while directing support to Ugandabuddhistcenter.org and BuddhistPeaceSchool.org for donations and volunteer opportunities.
Ep. 247 - How to Cultivate Devotion with Trudy Goodman
Q: Somebody asked a question in a meeting. How do we cultivate devotion?
The host answers that devotion arises by opening the heart, making space for love and compassion, and repeatedly returning to mindful presence rather than clinging to self-centered concerns.
Ep. 244 - Sacred Connections: Healing in Community with Mirabai Starr & Rameshwar Das
Q: Could you open up more about the way your friendship has progressed and how you've deepened together?
Our friendship has deepened significantly through shared experiences of loss and spiritual practices, becoming a safety and support for one another.
Ep. 244 - Sacred Connections: Healing in Community with Mirabai Starr & Rameshwar Das
Q: Could you say something about what you understood from Ram Dass' distinction about the view from the soul versus the Vipassana equanimity?
The view from the soul is about seeing from a deeper place, which contrasts with the psychological distancing often seen in meditation. It's about not merely labeling but experiencing deeply.
Ep. 234 - Walking Each Other Home: A Psychedelic Perspective on Healing and Connection, Ram Dass Explorer's Club with Matt Zeemon and Jackie Dobrinska
Q: What do you think about younger people participating in a psilocybin ceremony, talking about ages 17 to 21 with parental attendance, approval, etc.?
It's a personal decision between the family. While there isn't documented physiological risk, older people generally do better on psychedelics since they have a firmer grasp on their identity. Parents should be involved, and it should be a well-considered choice.
