“Buddhist Geeks is an intelligent collective of young minds which has a lot of potential to engage with Buddhism is a contemporary way. Over time I have only felt sorrow, seeing that they continue their trend of demonizing traditional practices in favor of 'clever approaches' and personal critiques of dharma roots. Listening to the recent episode about 'Buddhist ethics is a fraud' I am reminded of when they invited critics of Buddhism to be key speaker at their conference in Colorado. I respect that not everyone has the benefit an education which elucidates the roots of Buddhist traditions and that there are ways which Buddhism has not yet met western audiences, but I feel the trend here is to try to rip up the metaphorical tree of dharma to replace it with mindfulness, neuroscience and perpetual skepticism. I don't think this is intentional but the disrespect will only block their way. I hope this trend changes.”Read full review »

“These podcasts are humble, scholarly, and sincere (I hope that "scholarly" is taken in a positive Buddhist sense!). I have immense respect for the effort here, and I've learned so much from the first five already. Thanks so much.”Read full review »

“Buddhist Geeks give new perspectives on learning to meditate, the history Buddhism and study of the Darma. They always interview interesting people and ask interesting questions. I recommend the progam to everyone who is interested in and/or practicing Buddhism.”
