The full-length podcasts will air weekly and feature (in order of appearance on the trailer):

2. Sayalay Piyadassi, a European (Lithuanian) Buddhist nun, who discusses her early years as a nun in Burma and her joy in simplicity practicing in Europe, particularly in Spain;
3. Thabarwa Sayadaw (Ashin Ottamathara), a youthful leading Burmese abbot, who shares the stressful early years of trying to establish his urban meditation center in tumultuous Rangoon and the crises they faced;
4. Thabarwa Sayadaw, Part II;
5. Ashin Chanda, a Bangladeshi Buddhist monk, who tells how the early heartbreak of losing his mother set him on a path in search of inner peace that ultimately led to his ordination;
6. Sebestien Le Normand, a French meditator, who reflects on a special visit to International Meditation Center (IMC);
7. Ashin Sarana, a Czech Buddhist monk, who describes why he is so concerned with the problem of Burmese monks touching money.
