I’ve listened to every single podcast. I started in 2020 and they really got me through some major life changes with truth and humor. I am now listening to them all again and they are still so impactful and humorous. Reverend Kusala has helped me suffer less!
I've been listening to this podcast for many years. I love it. He really does a great job of making everything very understandable.
and now finally a rating - very good Dhamma talks, love the stories - always comes with a smile. Thanks for all the years listening to you!
Hi, why people make children if in Buddhism the aim is to stop rebirth so we wouldn't suffer again. Is this the reason that monks and nuns remain unmarried?
I can’t express what a impact Kusula and this podcast has had on my personal Buddhist practice and overall outlook on life… a shining jewel.
