This is a wonderful teaching that was shared to me from one of my Buddhist Brothers in understanding the difference between a practitioner of Buddhism and someone who uses Buddhism for their own means. This is demonstrated by what they accept in their life and what they challenge.

As we can see compassion is one of the major virtues of Buddhist practice. It is important to understand how we receive situations from others and what we give to others in each moment. This teaching allows us to understand the give and take of our lives and what is our ultimate goal of practice and study.

This episode is a discussion on some history and background of these two vehicles of Buddhism. Also we prepared to see how the Lotus Sutra and other sutures relate to each other, as a precedent for the five periods categorization of Grand Master Tien Tai.

In this segment we talk about the three poisons of Buddhism and their antidotes. We talk in depth as to the small and big concepts in our life that we can apply this teaching to and how I can lead us to deeper faith.

In this podcast we discussed the concept of filial piety of respecting one's parents and ancestors. It is my hope that we are able to delve into its origins both within Confucianism and Buddhism. This is an essential concept to change our karma and to influence positive change throughout the world by ending samsara.

In this podcast, I will share the concept of defending the Dharma, from the Nirvana Sutra. Also we discuss the context of the modern phenomenon of the independent Buddhist movement and what the Buddha directs us to understand. These are two very important aspects, that I believe this podcast will give us some clarity on.

In this episode, I would like to share with you some Buddhist traditions and practices that we can incorporate into our daily life that will be able to support our practice and life in a more healthy direction.

This is a lecture concerning that in modern times, too much information can be just as bad as not enough information. I make this podcast to help my fellow practitioners on the path to realize this admonition. You may be accumulating too much information about Buddhism and missing the path completely as if you didn't have any direction.

This is simply an explanation about understanding the concept of how the "way of the correct law" is interacting with that of nature and as we see in many of Nichiren Shonin writings the cause of natural disasters. Here, I share the basic concept that was part of his culture, to help us better understand this.

In this podcast we go into the concept of this holiday, it's history, and how to observe it. In the practice of Buddhism we unite ourselves with the great nature. We become aware of how nature can also allow us to attain our goal of enlightenment. This holiday allows us to appreciate the light that we have received and how it is able to amplify that light in our lives.
