The 16th Karmapa Rangjung Rigpe Dorje; Modern Meditation Master Monday (01:48:03)
To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Parinirvana of His Holiness Rangjung Rigpe Dorje the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa, I decided to do the first Modern Meditation Master Monday profile on this King of Kings, the NIrmanakaya emanation of Chenrezig, the Buddha of Compassion, head of the Karma Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. He was called the Miraculous 16th because of his tremendous and seemingly effortless spiritual power that he playfully and majestically transformed millions of lives with. He was a Buddha in the flesh and this was clearly evident to those who entered his mandala. Karmapa Khyenno! Karmapa Khyenno! Karmapa Khyenno!Buddhaversepodcast.com

What Is a Buddha? pt. 1 (02:43:07)
The Buddha may be the single most influential figure in human history, and also the most misunderstood, or misinterpreted. When he attained "Buddhahood," the course of history changed forever, but when he announced to the world, "I am awake," what did it mean ? The legacy he left in his wake is one of the major religions of the world, know today as "Buddhism" but he did not teach a belief system, nor a philosophy, and not exactly a science. What he taught was how to deliver one's self and others from suffering through education, reflection, and meditation. Let's take a look at this magnanimous artist formerly known as Siddhartha, and what is means to be a Buddha. In part 2 we'll answer this question from the Mahayana Buddhist perspective.
Hard Drive Recites The Shurangama Mantra (00:18:14)
Buddhists for thousands of years have put mantra, Sutras, and prayers to rhythm as a mnemonic tool, so I decided to put this difficult-to-memorize mantra to an instrumental as an aid for myself and anyone else who strives to do what is most difficult.

The Shurangama Mantra (01:49:02)
The Shurangama Mantra also called the "Great White Canopy of Light Dharani Mantra" It is also called "Brilliant Buddha's Crown, Great White Canopy of Light, Unsurpassed Spiritual Mantra." This Highly revered and widely practiced Mantra comes from the Shurangama Sutra, and is one of the central Sutras of the Chinese Buddhist Traditions, especially the Ch'an school. In this podcast I will cover a bit about what a mantra is and why this mantra is given such praise and is so essential to the survival of Buddhism itself. This episode is dedicated to the memory and legacy of Michael Brooks, may he continue his Bodhisattva activity wherever he is.

In Praise of the Dalai Lama (01:08:46)
This week's Episode is about the King of Tibet, the leader of world leaders, the teacher of teachers, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. This "simple monk" may be one of the greatest human bings to ever walk the Earth, and Earth is undoubtedly a better place with this being amongst us, so it's only proper to give an introduction and praise to one of, if not the most, central living figures in Buddhism. It should be a source of Vajra Pride that we can call the Dalai Lama our own, as he represents the greatest aspects of the human heart: tireless compassion, humble grace, shining intellectual brilliance, and patient forbearance. I cover a brief biography and history of the lineage of the Dalai Lamas and then discuss his duties and main aspirations as the greatest representative of Tibetan Buddhism...

Anil Thapa: Thanka Painting, Shamanism, and Honoring the Land (00:49:16)
Few, if any, Dharma practitioners have synthesized indigenous shamanic cultures with Buddhism the way Anil Thapa has. Staying true to his native Nepali identity and deep love for Dharma, Anil has embraced the First Nations People's respect for Mother Nature and the elements. He has made it his life's work to encourage other's to reconnect with our planet, and discover the beauty in life that he has found. At a time when Mother Earth has taken a backseat to modernity, and our alienation from nature and each other is at it's peak, Anil is leading the way back to heart and truth. Buddhism has a tendency to be very cerebral and the simple practice of being in nature, that has played such a large role in the awakenings of the ancient masters, must make a comeback to benefit our minds and Mother Earth. Anil and I discuss his life, the art of Thanka painting, how he came to embrace native flute, the state of the planet, and how we can reconnect to the source!
