The DRBU Podcast

Why did the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua, a traditional Chinese monk, found a university in America? What is so unique about a Buddhist model of education? And is it possible to live a good life in this day and age?

We sit down with DRBU president and Dharma teacher extraordinaire Doug Powers for answers to our questions.
