What sets Buddhism apart? (Ego podcast)


What sets Buddhism apart from other religions?
Ego Podcast (Buddhism) Feb. 23, 2025: Buddhism Explained. Experience a wisdom that permanently transforms – not just temporarily soothes. When we hear the word “wisdom,” we often imagine calming, wise sayings that bring a temporary sense of peace.


But the Buddha’s wisdom goes far beyond that. This video explores how the Buddha’s teachings offer a transformative training of the mind/heart -- a real path to ending suffering (disappointment, pain, misery) rather than merely providing comforting words. Discover:
  • Beyond the Surface: How conventional wise sayings compare with the deep, practical training offered by the Buddha.
  • The Buddha’s approach to identifying suffering as stemming from our own desires and cravings.
  • The Real Problem and True Transformation: Why true wisdom demands dissecting (analyzing) the mind to see the real causes of suffering.
  • How the Buddha’s insight into the nature of craving (tanha) and clinging (upadana) leads to genuine liberation (nirvana).
  • The Training of Wisdom: The role of the Noble Eightfold Path and threefold training (virtue, concentrated calm, and insight) in cultivating lasting inner peace.
  • Practical steps to replace superficial wisdom with a transformative, embodied understanding.
