    I’ve gained so much from these talks. James Low delivers Buddhist teachings in a smart, fresh and humorous way that makes them super accessible. I’m a doctor and a skeptic with no religious or spiritual background, and if you’d told me a few years ago that I’d one day be voluntarily listening to a bunch of 4-8 hr long podcasts on topics like emptiness I would have thought you were crazy. Yet, here I am. Thank you, James.

    The treasure is shining everywhere here. One does not have to look far.

    I recommend going to James’s website still though because the audio archive is jaw dropping.

    Thank You to all involved that make this possible.
