In this wonderful podcast episode, LDF board member Terri Peterson interviews author and podcaster Noah Rasheta about Buddhist teachings that transcend faith boundaries and can help people live with greater clarity and equanimity whether they are formally religious or not.
With Terri’s prompting, Noah shares his journey as a Latter-day Saint on through his introduction to Buddhism and how well it fit his seeker’s temperament. What really stands out in this exchange is Noah’s ability to brilliantly and in a plain-spoken way outline the key concepts that underpin Buddhism. The conversation is chock full of “aha” moments, and, among many other things,shows us the value of asking questions that we likely would have never thought about if we live and think only within one religious system.
Listen in! You will be very glad you did!
