Practical Buddhism: Wisdom for Everyday Life
This book is a collection of over 100 short Dharma talks on a wide range of topics. They were originally broadcast on the 5 Minute Dharma Buddhist Podcast. The podcast consists of short five minute talks that seek to apply practical Buddhist wisdom to everyday life.
Here is what listeners on Stitcher have said:
"The 5 Minute Dharma podcast is simple with topics that are covered succinctly and with a smooth delivery. If you need simple advice, this is great to clear your mind and help put you down the path you know you need to take."
"This show condenses the best Buddhist thought into brief, but intensely packed 5 minute blocks. Thus, it is an excellent prelude to meditation and to daily practice."
"I listen to this podcast regularly, and when faced with an issue I go back to listen to the show related to the area of life I am struggling with - be it food, relationships, work. I find that it helps a lot to put things into perspective. I highly recommend it!"
"I really like the concise, direct approach to each podcast message."
