- Love Susan, love this podcast
I love Susan in all
her incarnations, be it written, video, or at her Open Heart Project- but if you ask me this podcast is perfect… the themes the length and of course for Susan’s very genuine desire to both teach and share. But don’t take my word for it! (One of my favorite sayings of hers) Listen for yourself.

I am so happy to have this podcast from Susan on the principles of Buddhism and how they relate to our lives. Susan is very knowledgeable and has practiced for many years but she has a unique way, with humor and simplicity and grace, to make it easy to understand. Particularly, in these tumultuous times (and aren’t there always tumultuous times?), these teachings provide a path. Thank you, Susan Piver!

Apple Podcasts5Jonathan FieldsUnited States7 months ago - Best short explanation of the three yanas I have heard!
Congratulations Susan on the launch of your podcast! Now I have a concise way of explaining the three views that makes sense to me. That you know the essence of the views of the Hinayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana paths is clear from the simple and pithy explanations you give. I am impressed by your wisdom, courage and compassion and for embodying the vajrayana view of “let’s look for what you actually see”. I’m looking forward to the next episode.
