Noah Rasheta on Buddism (Episode 86)

Want to become more Stoic? Join us and other Stoics this October: Stoicism Applied by Caleb Ontiveros and Michael [http://stoameditation.com/course] In this conversation, I speak with Noah Rasheta about Buddhism. We talk about the key tenets of Buddhism, meditation, and even who shouldn't be Buddhist. Noah has a clear and focused approach to Buddhism that I think you'll find useful – whether or not you're familiar with the philosophy. https://secularbuddhism.com/ (01:56) Introduction (03:56) Becoming Buddhist (05:19) Why Do We Suffer (09:11) Craving (13:16) Habitual Cycles (19:20) Meditation (24:33) Judgment (28:56) Interdependence and Impermanence (34:23) Identity (42:20) Who Shouldn't Be Buddhist (45:33) Role Models (47:26) Stoicism (48:57) Enlightenment (54:18) The Rabbit Hole *** Subscribe to The Stoa Letter for weekly meditations, actions, and links to the best Stoic resources: www.stoaletter.com/subscribe [http://www.stoaletter.com/subscribe] Download the Stoa app (it's a free download): stoameditation.com/pod [http://stoameditation.com/pod] If you try the Stoa app and find it useful, but truly cannot afford it, email us and we'll set you up with a free account.
