Looking to support #Ukraine with mantras? Green Tara's mantra (OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SOHA) is a good one for this moment, as her special quality is to offer protection from fear. Here's a great video from my lama Anne Klein/Rigzin Drolma at @dawnmountain for more on Green Tara.

I got to talk with Loppon Yudron Wangmo about her story (how a nice girl grows up to become a Buddhist teacher), her experiences with long-term retreat, and more. I'm editing our conversation now and will post it later this week. 🤩

Y'all, I finally saw Encanto, and I have lots of thoughts about the ways the movie's themes line up with Buddhist teachings.
So of course I want to make a video (or several) about it! Which song do you think is most "dharmic" from the movie? I'll start with the winner of this poll and see how far I get, lol!

The electricity's off this morning, so I'm editing in the (semi-)dark! But I'm looking forward to posting my conversation with Kyohei of @The Lotus Sutra before too long. We talked about immanence and transcendence in Tibetan Buddhism, the Lotus Sutra, and The Matrix, and he shares about how he practices Buddhism through community support, reciting the Lotus Sutra -- and formal meditation.
Videos coming soon! 🤩

I just recorded a conversation with my first fellow Buddhist YouTuber, Kyohei of The Lotus Sutra: How to Study and Practice Buddhism. We talked about how we met (we both did videos about The Matrix and its connections with Buddhism 🤩), the Lotus Sutra, and how Buddhism deals with immanence and transcendence. (Not sure what that means? Don't worry, he explains it!)
I'll probably trim our long conversation into a few different videos and post them over the next few weeks. Stay tuned! 📻

Hi, I'm Claire, and I'm kind of a professional Buddhist. I want to share the knowledge and experience I've gained through practicing Buddhism since 1997, teaching meditation since 2004, and completing a PhD in Tibetan Buddhism at Rice University in 2015.
My videos are here to give you an easy way to start learning about the wisdom of the dharma and how to apply it in daily life. I'm interested in the basics of Buddhist belief, Tibetan teachings on rebirth (from the "Tibetan Book of the Dead" genre of teachings) and how they apply to transitions, and the hints Buddhist teachings offer as to the ultimate nature of our minds and reality.
As a friend of mine put it, I got the PhD so you don't have to. 😜
