It is, in my opinion, not a skeptical enough delivery of Buddhism for 21st century geeks - we are not just technophiles we also hold science to a higher standards then they did 1 - 2 thousand years ago. If Buddhism is to be relevant today it must be held to that standard and scrutinized accordingly. Somethings will get dropped by the waysides, others will flourish.

As a result what I just said some of the content on this podcast is a little disappointing, but a lot of it is great. The episode that distinguished science from scientism, for example, was pure gold, as was the one were a neuroscientist taught simple techniques for coming the mind before meditation, like touching one's lips with one's fingertips.”Read full review »
