The reality is, we’re already enlightened. It’s only as we face obstacles, stress and our own messiness that we start to forget it. This is a show about how to believe in yourself again, told by a community of Buddhists doing it everyday, and changing the world along the way. Hosted by journalist Jihii Jolly, who you might know from the popular SGI-USA podcast Buddhist Solutions for Life’s Problems, each week you’ll hear an honest conversation about real life and how to tap into your Buddhability.

Love it!
Very inspiring.
Look forward to each episode!
These podcasts are so inspiring I look forward to them each week. Jihi is such a down to earth and compassionate host and with the people that she interviews. I have been practicing this Buddhism for 42 years and really love to hear how others also grow and blossom with this practice. Thank you
Relatable
I like to listen while working but especially in the mornings. This adds to my day in a positive way and in conversations throughout day, I somehow revert back to what I heard on buddhability. Great podcast. The discussions apply to everyday experiences and life. Bravo!!!
