What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I feel so refreshed after hearing an interview. I know these are geared towards new or non- members but as a practitioner of 40 years, I often feel a renewed determination. The latest episode with Adewale was particularly transformative. Thank you for this platform to share the power of Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.

Niki im · Jul 2026

I love how this show highlights so many experiences from people from marginalized communities. Thanks for featuring Adewale, and so many other Black voices in Buddhism!

Loki Karuna · Jul 2026

Really enjoying listening to this podcast. Hearing from members from various walks of life it’s so relatable and encouraging. I can listen to episodes multiple times and hear something new to help me through my current struggles.

Smlygrl182 · Jul 2026

I love the unique perspective each guest brings! Listening in most always refreshes my own perspective on life! I love buddhability, keep em coming!

Dsembr · Jun 2026

I have only listened to a few episodes, but they have been hard to listen to. I know the host is trying to be engaging and show interest in the guest, but her interjections detract from the guest’s experiences. The best conversational-style interviews seem to be done with the intent to include the listening audience, but sometimes these conversations feel like the audience is more of a bystander. That seemed especially true of the previous host, but I only listened to one or two of those episodes, so maybe it changed along the way. The other podcast (Buddhist Solutions for Life’s Problems) is of a professional quality on par with other great podcasts and is one I could share with friends who are interested in Buddhism.
