*Growing up in a Buddhist household, briefly ordaining as a monk, and sharing the dharma through temple tours
*The Care and Share Dharma Study Group at Rainbodhi Singapore, developing Dharma Kueen, and exploring the gender neutrality of Avalokiteshvara
*And the importance of making yourself available to the present moment by not taking yourself too seriously


Vincent Moore hosts Paths of Practice: Conversations on Journeys into Buddhism, a space where personal stories take center stage. Each episode is built around a simple, profound question: what does it actually look like to live with Buddhist teachings? You’ll hear from people whose lives have been shaped by this path, from long-time monastics and dedicated lay practitioners to those who have just felt a curious pull toward mindfulness and compassion. The conversations avoid dry theory, focusing instead on the messy, human, and often surprising realities of integrating practice into daily life-through family, work, doubt, and discovery. This podcast operates on the belief that there are as many ways to walk this road as there are people walking it, gently exploring that diversity one honest conversation at a time. It’s less about providing answers and more about sharing the map-making process itself, offering companionship and insight for anyone interested in the varied terrain of spiritual life.
