  • 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.

  • 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.
