Buddhism is a worldwide religion based on the insight and teachings of the Buddha of our current era, known as Shakyamuni Buddha (commonly called “The Buddha”). But what exactly is "Buddhism"? In this episode, I start off my podcast series by giving you a high-level overview of Buddhism and why it is so empowering to us as humans. We will cover Dependent Origination, the Four Noble Truths, the Noble Eightfold Path, Karma, and Rebirth.
