What’s This Tao All About
As a lay Buddhist practitioner, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Tao and Buddhism have similar messages. I find that the more I listen to this podcast, my understanding of both Buddhism and Taoism is increasing. What a great gift! Highly recommend for anyone of any faith tradition or anyone just interested in a different way of looking, feeling, and thinking about this big time ol’ universe we all have the good fortune to experience!
This podcast will get you through hard times
I will never forget when I found this podcast. It was during a dark period of struggle in my life, and it really got me through some very difficult feelings. This show was and is a godsend. I am so so saddened to hear of Dr Totton’s ill health. I attribute so much of my wisdom and growth to this show and to Dr Totton. There are no other Tao podcasts like this one. And I have deeply missed having new weekly episodes.
Thank you so much Tod for sharing the fundraiser and for updating us.
Ever desireless I see the mysteries!!
Been searching for a spiritual paradigm for a few years now, I love Buddhism and Hinduism but Taoism is the one that’s really stuck thanks to these guys! We were meant to move back to ireland from America (I struggle here) but my wife got denied her visa and that might have sent me spiraling if I hadn’t spent a couple of months listening to this podcast! It has helped me immensely to cope with this life changing news in a positive and effortless way im just going with the flow!l thanks guys!
