I am a man of science. That means I trust the scientific process of discovery, experimentation, and dis-confirming my beliefs. As I am getting closer to 50, my father recommended I read more about religion. He especially recommended Buddhism as he has been studying Buddhism for more than 50 years now.

I am going to start with a 1956 book called Buddha and his Dhamma. Based on my background research (i.e. Bunch of Googling), The book was written after deep study of every Buddhist literature in ancient original Pali language and Sanskrit language texts.

For 500 years the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha was passed down verbally. Then his followers wrote them down in Pali language texts. They were written on palm leaves 500 years after the death of Gautama Buddha.


Stuck in isolation after a positive COVID test, a self-proclaimed man of science found an unexpected recommendation waiting for him: to finally explore Buddhism, a path his father has walked for over half a century. With time on his hands and a first introductory book in front of him, he decided to begin a public, audio diary. This Buddhism: Learning from the begining. First book. podcast is that raw, first-time encounter. You'll hear the genuine reactions, questions, and skeptical ponderings of someone whose default mode is scientific inquiry-trusting in discovery, experimentation, and the disconfirming of beliefs-as he applies that very lens to ancient spiritual teachings. Each episode is a chapter of this live exploration, where foundational concepts are met with curiosity, confusion, and moments of unexpected clarity. It’s a personal journey shared aloud, offering a unique entry point for anyone who, like the host, might approach religion with a rational mind but an open heart. Join the Seeker of Buddhism not for polished expertise, but for the authentic and meandering process of learning something profound from page one.
