  • Sublime generosity

    Meditations, practice and wisdom on this podcast is excellent. I have been so lucky to be led here. If there were one thing I might prefer to be done differently is improving the quality of recordings. Teach people how to use a microphone correctly, adjust sound levels, address background white noise hum, and apply some noise cancellation. With deepest respect.

You can listen to many different teachers and decide which ones speak to you ( or not). Highly recommend. Also: they need our support to keep their centers going and to make a living themselves. Thank you!! 🙏🏼

  • Great content, unfortunate limitation of episodes available on iTunes

    Excellent selection - but limited to the recent 20 episodes or so. Thus, if you download to listen later the episodes might be already gone. I guess it’s an exercise in mindfulness of impermanence.
