Excellent!
I always enjoy the episodes but the one with Gil Frosdal, one of my favorite authors, was so informative. It motivates me further to pursue my meditation practice. Thank you!
Good but sometimes confusing
I love the guests, the topics and questions asked by the host Daniel Aitken. My only criticism is that the conversations will often lurch suddenly into very dense esoteric territory with a lot of Sanskrit and Tibetan terminology. I wish Daniel would slow down and speak as if most of his listening audience were not in a grad school seminar on Indo-Tibetan Buddhism.
Thank you
These interviews and conversations are excellent !!i am learning so much about the various lineages and the people who have brought different aspects/ teachings of Buddhism to the west. Great interviewer! Priceless dharma archives. Thank you .
