  • The Barbie episode

    Such a fun episode. And so unexpected. I love the Buddhist sense of humor. I can’t describe it, but I think we get to laugh at ourselves more than other people.

  • There is no woke Buddha.

    There is no overlap of far left woke ideology and true Buddhist teachings on compassion and bodhichitta. This is false advertising and has nothing to do with the dharma.

This new use of language is purely divisive. The goal of Buddhism should be to see clearly and honestly beyond skin color and political language. OM mani padme ... more

The format is rigid and it’s frustrating because the topics/guests are excellent. But it’s like the hosts know nothing of Buddhism, what... more
