Wise guidance for sincere Dharma practitioners

Buddha’s dharma is shared with wisdom, kindness and a nice dose of humor too. How lucky we are that these experienced monks are shining their light for us to follow. Thank you so much:)

Beautiful logo and quality content

A useful addition to the world of Buddhist podcasts. Here we get not only the voice of a sincere, ordained monastic (harder to come by percentage-wise than more common lay teachings) but also a younger, yet still mature voice. Thanks for this podcast channel. Keep the talks coming!
