  • Beautiful logo and quality content

    A useful addition to the world of Buddhist podcasts. Here we get not only the voice of a sincere, ordained monastic (harder to come by percentage-wise than more common lay teachings) but also a younger, yet still mature voice. Thanks for this podcast channel. Keep the talks coming!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Upāsakā Code: How to Be More Than Just a Weekend Buddhist | Ajahn Kovilo & Ajahn Nisabho
Q: How much does the intention matter in practicing the five precepts?
Intention matters significantly because framing one's actions with ritual and commitment transforms them into sacred practices rather than mere behaviors.
The Horror, the Drama, & the Dhamma: Awakening from Samsara’s Theatre | Ayya Ānandabodhī
Q: Can you expand on what it means that there were Buddhas before Sakyamuni Buddha?
The Buddha discovered the Dhamma as a truth that was always present, and his role was to reveal it rather than to create it.
The Horror, the Drama, & the Dhamma: Awakening from Samsara’s Theatre | Ayya Ānandabodhī
Q: Can we see sometime this happening in the future where all the traditions come together, not seeing each other as different?
The individual may awaken on the path, appreciating different styles of practice, but it's unlikely that all traditions will unify as fixed identities are inherent to human nature.
Devas, Māras, & Elephant Stories, Lay Stream Entry, & Wearing White in Buddhism | Ajahn Nisabho Q&A
Q: Are there resources for attaining stream entry as a lay person?
Ajahn offered suggestions like regular meditation, going to a monastery, and practicing generosity while giving importance to personal growth on the path.
Devas, Māras, & Elephant Stories, Lay Stream Entry, & Wearing White in Buddhism | Ajahn Nisabho Q&A
Q: What makes seeing the suffering we create for ourselves uncomfortable?
He discussed the inclination to avoid discomfort due to our deep-seated instinct to run from suffering, which is often rooted in ignorance.
