Summary
What is Buddhism? This podcast episode covers ten basic Buddhist concepts and also has a video! It's a companion to my book, Buddhism in 10 Steps , that I co-wrote with Buddhist monk Sanathavihari Bhikkhu. I originally recorded this video for YouTube and thought it would be a great addition to the Learn Buddhism podcast . If you've been listening to all my episodes, some of this might sound familiar (and that's good!). You can watch a VIDEO for this episode on Spotify , or if you are on another platform, check it out on YouTube : https://youtu.be/cn9GlUomlzU?si=UaE96U-c6KPQP9r4 .
