Buddhism Podcast
Hosted by Michael Cordero, Buddhism Podcast offers a thoughtful exploration of the tradition's diverse paths and practices. Rather than presenting abstract philosophy, each episode grounds itself in the lived expressions of Buddhist schools across Asia. You'll hear about the widespread Theravada traditions observed in Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand, and delve into the expansive world of Mahayana, including the distinct practices of Pure Land, Zen, Nichiren Buddhism, Shingon, and Tiantai found from China to Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, and Singapore. The conversation also considers Vajrayana-those teachings attributed to Indian adepts-examining its place as either a distinct branch or a profound aspect of the Mahayana path. This podcast serves as a guide for the curious, unpacking how these ancient teachings manifest in different cultures and what they offer to the modern seeker. Tune in for a series that respects the depth of Buddhist spirituality while making its core ideas accessible and relevant to everyday life.
