  • 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!

Q: If everyone gave up worldly affairs, the world would not go on. How do you address this?
