This conversation is a true gift for me to share. I have been learning, growing and evolving my own
Spiritual practice through the teachings of my guest, the Venerable Dr. Bhante Saranapala, for
almost 10 years.

In this enlightening episode, we welcome Reverend Dr. Bhante Saranapala, known as the “Urban
Buddhist Monk.” Renowned for his modern approach to Buddhism, Dr. Saranapala has captivated
audiences across North America and Europe with his teachings on meditation, mindfulness, and
the universal values of love, compassion, and wisdom.

I believe that Bhante’s messages, and enlightened perspectives in this episode are exactly what is
needed for all of us, during these times of great unknown.

His genuine and warm energy aMected me more while chatting with him, than I expected. I hope you
feel the same!
