Welcome to Pragmatic Buddhism, a podcast offering down-to-earth Dharma talks, mindful reflections, and unscripted conversations for curious minds. We explore the intersection of ancient insight and modern life, weaving together Buddhist teachings, psychology, neuroscience, and lived experience. Whether you're new to meditation or a longtime practitioner, this podcast invites you into a path of authentic awareness, compassionate acceptance, and wise action without dogma, jargon, or perfectionism.

The supreme goal of meditation in Buddhism is to reach the state of non-ego–non-self, liberation, and enter Nirvana. Through meditation, the Buddha became a Perfectly Enlightened One. Meditation concentrates our minds, making them calm, mindful, and free of delusions. It especially helps destroy our egos and ignorance to attain liberation and enlightenment. This training material is based on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness of Theravada Buddhism, in which the ultimate end is the state of non-self. Zen instructors must strictly follow the order of this material to help new practitioners.

Buddhism Beyond Belief is a podcast from Susan Piver, a 30 year student of Tibetan Buddhism and founder of the Open Heart Project, an online meditation community with close to 20000 members.With Susan as a friend and guide, we will look at traditional teachings like the four noble truths and the six paramitas–but not from an academic standpoint. Rather, we will talk about how to make it all personal and relevant in everyday life. This podcast is not about Buddhist doctrine. It’s about how anyone can bring the profound wisdom of the dharma into their real life: at home, at work, and in love. The foundation for it all is meditation as a spiritual practice, not the latest life hack. Let’s go beyond the science and celebrity testimonials to discover the true power of meditation which is not based in self-improvement but in self-discovery. 

Zen Buddhist teachings point to a profound view of reality--one of deep interconnection and non-separation. Awakening is a word used to describe the freedom, creativity and love of our original nature. This podcast explores the profound liberating teachings of Zen Buddhism at the intersection of dreamwork and the soul. The intention is to offer a view of awakening that explores our deep interconnection with the living world and the cosmos as well as to invite a re-imagining of what human life and culture could be if we lived our awakened nature. Amy Kisei is a Zen Buddhist Teacher, Somatic IFS Spiritual Counselor, Astrologer and Artist. She practices and teaches at the confluence of spirituality, psychology and somatics--affirming a wholistic path of awakening. You can learn more about Amy Kisei's upcoming retreats and/or 1:1 work on her website: https://www.amykisei.org/ amykisei.substack.com

Trauma, Psychedelics, and Buddhism brings together three powerful healing traditions that are rarely explored in conversation: trauma therapy, psychedelic medicine, and Buddhist wisdom. The podcast explores how evidence-based trauma therapies, expanded states of consciousness, and contemplative practices can complement one another opening new pathways for healing, integration, and transformation. By weaving these traditions together, we invite fresh ways of understanding suffering and discovering deeper possibilities for human flourishing.
