Show Notes

A Buddhist is sometimes referred to as an inner being. This is one who solves their problems and seeks happiness within. In this episode, we look at how to recognize whether we are seeking inner or outer refuge, the difference being whether it can truly solve our problem and give us peace—or not.

Yama's henchmen are standing by.

You stand at the door of death

With no provisions for the journey.

Make an island for yourself.

Be quick in making effort. Be wise.

Unblemished, with corruption removed,

You'll enter the divine realm of the noble ones.

—Buddha, The Dhammapada
