With Susan as a friend and guide, we will look at traditional teachings like the four noble truths and the six paramitas–but not from an academic standpoint. Rather, we will talk about how to make it all personal and relevant in everyday life. This podcast is not about Buddhist doctrine. It’s about how anyone can bring the profound wisdom of the dharma into their real life: at home, at work, and in love. The foundation for it all is meditation as a spiritual practice, not the latest life hack. Let’s go beyond the science and celebrity testimonials to discover the true power of meditation which is not based in self-improvement but in self-discovery.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-18T16:19:14.052192+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/buddhism-beyond-belief-with-susan-piver-7581346"},"episode":{"title":"Learning is Remembering: The Outer, Inner, and Secret Teachers","slug":"learning-is-remembering-the-outer-inner-and-secret-teachers","published_at":"2026-08-07T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/buddhism-beyond-belief-with-susan-piver-7581346/learning-is-remembering-the-outer-inner-and-secret-teachers","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/buddhism-beyond-belief-with-susan-piver-7581346","url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456053/episodes/19609329-learning-is-remembering-the-outer-inner-and-secret-teachers.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456053/episodes/19609329-learning-is-remembering-the-outer-inner-and-secret-teachers.mp3","summary":"Send us Fan Mail How do we recognize a true teacher?
