    Buddha Basics Podcast 01 - Oodles of Buddha

    Dear All,

    Our Zen of Everything Podcast takes a new turn, as Reverend Jundo (that's me) irreverently (yet somehow reverently too) dives into the basic history and teachings of Buddhism and Zen for both newcomers and fellow 'old Zen fools.'

    Never in thousands of years of Buddhist history has there been a podcast like this, and that's not only because they did not have podcasts back then.

    I will say what needs to be said, some things that shouldn't be said, some things best left unsaid, some things said best and said right, plus all that Zen stuff that really cannot be said in words anyway. Let's be serious when it is time to be serious, but also let's laugh together and not take our Buddhisty selves (and non-selves) too seriously.

    In the coming weeks, we will cover all the fundamental Buddhist teachings, the old stories and tales, the Wisdom and Practices of our Zen Way ... 'splained in plain English, plus a few grains of salt. Guaranteed to be enlightening and timeless or, at least, fun, informative and illuminating, time well spent.

    Here's our first episode of the new series ...

    Buddha Basics 01: Oodles of Buddhas
    https://www.zen-of-everything.com/79

    This is the first episode of our Buddha Basics series, which looks at the basics of Buddhism as never expressed before, featuring the irreverent comments of Reverend Jundo, a real Zen Roshi. No Buddha BS here. In this Buddha Basics episode, we look at why there are so many Buddhas, an infinite number of Buddhas, and who's who.
    We were really torn on a name for the podcast, but settled on "Buddha Basics" because that is what we will cover. Other names tossed out included: "Badass Buddhism," "Make Buddhism Great Again," "No Bull Buddhism" "Blasphemous Buddha Basics" and more. We settled on just "Buddha Basics," although it is actually short for:




    And though our Zen way is beyond all likes and dislikes ... if you like the darn thing, please leave a positive ratings on iTunes! It really helps support the effort.

    For more about the podcast, where to send your serious or silly questions ...

    Dear All, For those of you who can't get enough Jundo, and would love to have me 24/7 in their cars, bedrooms and ears ... ... who want to hear me push some Buddhist boundaries, make some people smile and others come running with burning torches, all while hopefully speaking some sense ... ... I am pleased to announce that

    Gassho, Jundo

              Really good. Love the humor. Great to not be attached to even our most revered stories. And, I can likewise say that never before in over a thousand years of Buddhism has there been a comment such as this (cuz I just wrote it). Looking forward to more.

                          I was waiting for Kirk to chastise you for your singing, Jundo.
                          ...
                          Especially since it was the Beatles.

                          Thank you both, as always!
