    I try listening to other podcasts every now and then but am back here very quickly. I have about 50 unplayed ones to listen to so I hope Daniel can keep having these incredible conversations so I don’t catch him up. We are very lucky to have this resource. I am very grateful for it. Thank you

  • Great In-Depth Conversations

    Wisdom has fast become one of my favorite Buddhist publishing houses thanks to its wide-ranging, serious scholarship. I’m a Chan practitioner, and I generally enjoy learning and listening across Buddhist schools and worldviews, but I am somewhat green when it comes to Tibetan Buddhist history and philosophy, and so some of this is a bit out of my wheelhouse at this point. Still, a delight overall!
