Summer is here and we may find ourselves with more time on our hands to rest and recuperate. Soooo, we asked some sangha member for their favorite podcasts. Here are their recommendations…

On New Year’s Eve 2020, I was asked to give a talk on “What the Buddha Means to Me” at the London Buddhist Center’s Winter Retreat. So I thought it would be interesting, with Buddha Day 2022 approaching, to go back and review what I said and to see if things had changed in terms of what the Buddha means to me. In the talk, I discussed how my relationship had evolved over the two years since I started my Buddhist journey: from an Aesthetic Appreciation of the Buddha imagery in my house (that I collected before I knew anything about Buddhism!), to Inspiration from hearing his life story on my first Buddhist retreat at Vajrasana Retreat Center, to Connection through the application of his teachings in my life, to Reverence for all that he represented in terms of human potential.
