Rev. Danny Fisher

[UPDATED at 1:42 p.m. PST on August 21st, 2011.]

Apologies for the delay, everyone! (As a penance, I’ve posted a glimpse into my twisted process above.) The third episode of our podcast series on Buddhist Religions: A Historical Introduction by Richard H. Robinson, Willard L. Johnson, and Thanissaro Bhikkhu, has dropped! In this installment we look at section 1.3 of the book (pg. 4-11), “The Quest for Awakening,” which tells the story of the Buddha’s life. Give a listen…

As always, I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you that you can also subscribe directly to the podcast here or through iTunes by using this link (or just by searching the podcasts in the iTunes Store for “Rev. Danny Fisher”).
