  • 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.

Talking Back at Māra: ”I Hate to Waste a Perfectly Good Disaster” | Ayya Sudhamma Q&A
Q: Ayya, how would you advise a cancer survivor who decides to take a medicine that greatly improves their quality of life but may increase the risk of another cancer?
Treat the medicine as a friend that supports your well-being and meaning, and frame the decision as an act of self-love and service to loved ones and life. Stay mindful that the goal is a meaningful, engaged life, and acknowledge the psychological stress while choosing to move forward with compassion and intention.
Recalibrating Sanity Through Unbounded Space | Ajahn Kovilo
Q: What is a practical way to handle anger without feeding aversion?
Replace aversion with seeing the other person's good qualities, rest, and space, while recognizing the suffering behind the anger; allow the mind to soften rather than pushing away the aversive state.
Recalibrating Sanity Through Unbounded Space | Ajahn Kovilo
Q: How is compassion defined when one cannot directly help someone?
Compassion can be cultivated internally, extending boundless goodwill and care without requiring immediate action, and actions to alleviate suffering can occur when possible, but the internal cultivation itself remains valid and beneficial.
Into the Mire of Buddhist Controversy? How Christian Jealousy Birthed SuttaCentral | Bhante Sujato
Q: What was your route to creating SuttaCentral? Why did you do that?
The initial push came from a practical need to avoid link rot and to host reliable texts and parallels, which led to creating a site that could host translations and Pali texts across multiple languages, ultimately evolving into a full-text database and a platform for comparative study.
From Uganda to the Dalai Lama: The Chronicles of an African Seeker in India | Bhante Buddharakkhita
Q: How did you transform unwise interactions into wisdom and compassion in daily life?
By applying a set of practical techniques—replacing unwholesome states with their wholesome opposites, reflecting on danger and degradation, redirecting attention away from anger, retracing to identify roots, and making daily resolutions to stay on a skillful path.
