Spirituality is ultimately what Buddhaland is about. It is intangible, and yet it is what makes us fully human. It is what gives direction to art, and purpose to technology. In the contemporary world, it takes many forms, and this episode gathers some of the most honest and sometimes unexpected reflections we have encountered this season.

You will hear from Sairee Chahal on micro spirituality, the quiet practices that sustain her through the demands of entrepreneurial life. From Father Reginald Mary Chua on the importance of retreat, as a space to return to yourself and to encounter the divine. From Michel Pascal on the surprising common ground between religious traditions, and his belief that at the root of every spiritual path is the same human longing to be happy. From Khenpo Aachen Tenzin on the nature of ultimate truth in the Dzogchen practice of the Nyingma tradition. And from Guoying Stacy Zhang, on one of the subtler obstacles on the spiritual path: the existential disorientation that can arrive precisely when practice is working.

We hope these reflections are of some use on your own journey.
