In this week’s Podcast we look at Buddhism as practiced traditionally in Asia, as compared to forms popular in Western nations.  In our ongoing advocacy for traditional Buddhist practices, we make the case for maintaining the entirety of the Buddhist tradition, rather than selecting a small portion, one specific practice, or removing ideas or concepts that may initially seem outside what we’ve come to understand as Buddhism.  Maintaining the entirety of the Buddhist tradition offers us opportunities for future growth and understanding we may not initially know we need or are capable of.
