From Lay Life to Monastic Life: A Conversation with Bhante Bhikkhu Subhuti Integrating Presence × Echoes and Stories of Dhamma In this special swapcast, Integrating Presence and Echoes and Stories of Dhamma come together for a conversation with Bhante Bhikkhu Subhuti, an American Buddhist monastic based in Sri Lanka. Now in his 20th vassa, Bhante Subhuti reflects on the journey that brought him from lay life into monastic training, and on what two decades of living the monastic life have taught him about practice, discipline, and the mind. The conversation also explores aspects of meditation practice, including his experience of developing and sustaining a contemplative practice within the monastic environment. Alongside the formal dimensions of Buddhist practice, Bhante Subhuti shares practical reflections and advice for lay practitioners—how the Dhamma can be integrated into ordinary life, and what can genuinely support spiritual development beyond the meditation cushion. A candid conversation about monastic life, meditation, commitment, and putting the Dhamma into practice. Guest: Bhante Bhikkhu Subhuti American Buddhist monastic · Based in Sri Lanka · 20th vassa · Master of Buddhist Studies student Hosts: Integrating Presence & Echoes and Stories of Dhamma

Divine Beings on Canvas - Paubhā Art with Lok Chitrakar

An hour with Lok Chitrakar can scarcely pay due respect to the artistic heritage and legacy he embodies. Yet, in that short time, we navigated the essential aspects of Paubhā painting with as much depth as possible. His humility, kindness, and heartfelt openness reminded us that the artistic expression of Dharmic qualities and awakened beings draws upon a vast and inexhaustible treasury of Buddhist iconography and symbolism, one that continues to inspire and nourish the imagination across generations.

The Heart of Sotō Zen

Series 2 - Episode 13 Jiryu- full conversation What does it take to leave a job as a Fintech AI engineer and step into the heart of Zen? What do you think it takes? It's not an option in a rational, conventional way. It rather means that something has spurred from the inside, that practice has reached a tipping point, a growing edge, and that some deeper switch is required in the unconventional way, probably for good. listen www.danderan.com
