Diggin' the Dharma

Diggin' the Dharma with Jon Aaron and Doug Smith is a relaxed discussion of the Buddhist dharma between friends. Jon's interest centers around practice, while Doug's centers around scholarship of the early material, so their approaches balance practice with study. Their discussions will be approachable to a broad audience of Buddhists and those curious about Buddhism, and they welcome questions and comments. Jon is a teacher at Space2Meditate and NY Insight Meditation Center and a well known teacher and trainer of teachers of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction. Doug has a PhD in Philosophy and runs Doug's Dharma on YouTube and the Online Dharma Institute, where he gives courses on early Buddhism. Find them at: https://digginthedharma.com/

Friendly and insightful Dharma chat

I always enjoy these conversations about how the various aspects of early Buddhism relate to modern life.

Really good listening

For this non-Buddhist neophyte listener, Doug and Jon’s discussions are worth time as good conversations, simply. The subject is obviously vast, and the hosts convey a sense of purpose and may cover a lot of ground in a single brief chat. But it’s never an overwhelming information dump, it’s just exercise in sharing thoughtfully, each time, as far as topic and episode span permit. You have to appreciate that.

Great resource

Not only have I adopted some Buddhist practice over the past few years, I’ve also started consuming more books and dharma talks, etc., not only because they support my practice but also because they’re a more edifying way to spend my time than social media, etc. This podcast is a great resource- a practical, thoughtful discussion of mindfulness, etc. from a western, non-monastic perspective. I’m very glad for it.
