My Buddhist Lineage

In this episode I discuss the Theravada Buddhist tradition I am rooted in and the lineage of teachers that I learn from. For more reading on Buddhism I recommend Buddhism: A Concise Introduction by Smith and Novak. Some of the teachers I mention in this episode include Gil Fronsdal, Michele McDonald, Jack Kornfield, Ruth Denison, Sayadaw U Pandita, Joseph Goldstein, JoAnna Hardy, Mary Stancavage, and Dipa Ma. Living Buddhist Masters is an excellent book about teachers that have influenced many of my teachers. I share about my practice at The Insight Meditation Society and two of the traditions that I have learned about there; The Thai Forest Tradition and the Mahasi Tradition
