I am so grateful to Gil and all involved in bringing these talks to a wider audience. I discovered Gil’s talks when I was experiencing a very hard time and his wisdom and palpable compassion helped me through it. May many more benefit as well.

Im so very grateful to have found this podcast! I listen to many Buddhist teachers on various sites over the years but just found this one. I have read Gil Fronsdale’s books and he is full of dharma wisdom. But listening to his talks, especially when he answers student questions really embodies for me the wisdom, mindfulness and metta that Buddhism represents. His talks are truly jewels. Many thanks to all involved for these precious teachings 🙏🏼

Gil and the entire teaching staff at IMC are so important to me. These lectures and meditations have helped me immensely and brought great comfort and presence to my life. I can’t remember when I started listening (at least 12 years ago) but Gil feels like the wisest dharma dad to me. He helps me calm down, stay present, and forgive myself when I epically fail at adulting. So ,inch gratitude for the gift of these teachings. ❤️

I’ve been listening to Gils podcast for a decade now since my mid 20s and it has transformed my life by bringing - peace when I didn’t see a way forward in my life and simply felt stuck - awareness to my thoughts and feelings and not allowing them to boss me around - discipline in my practice but also in life Cannot recommend it enough. Initially, I was skeptical and criticized & questioned many of the episodes, and after roughly 3-6 months of practice, when I got rid of my cynicism - I began to learn, be present, and transform my life. Still am transforming it today. Thank you for bringing peace to my life and for teaching me how to allow it to come into my life. “When you’re at peace, you bring peace to the world”
