  • 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!

Love Is the Only Thing ... Oh, and PBT, RFT, ACT & Infinite Relationality | Steven Hayes Q&A
Q: What do you suggest in terms of cognitive flexibility and what does that look like?
ACT focuses on the quality of each step you take towards being open, aware, and engaged in a meaningful life.
Death Dhamma: Lessons from Life’s Edge | Ajahn Nisabho
Q: How do we balance the teaching on not self and the five recollections?
The movement towards anatta is one of relinquishment; relinquishment should be an active process.
Death Dhamma: Lessons from Life’s Edge | Ajahn Nisabho
Q: What do you say happens after death?
I would say, I don't know. The Buddha had this beautiful suit, and he says, one protects truth by saying, I have this belief, and that's that much.
A 5-Element Taxonomy of Happiness: Pick Your Sukha! | Ajahn Kovilo
Q: Can a human mind attain a pleasure which is like water, which is cool, which is easeful?
Yes, it is possible, this belief that one can attain Jhana or deeper levels of happiness is a useful belief.
A 5-Element Taxonomy of Happiness: Pick Your Sukha! | Ajahn Kovilo
Q: Can you please speak a little bit more about that sukkha that is like space?
It's a stepping back, it's a meta-awareness, an insight into not self, and there are different levels to it.
