Are you ready to journey into the heart of Buddhism? Our conversation with Swami Lotus continues on Spiritual Gumbeaux. We take a philosophical tour down the paths of Mahayana and Hinayana, touching on the practice of Chan and its differences from Zen. Ever pondered the thin line separating the practitioner from the monk or the essence of working towards one's own salvation? Brace yourself for some profound revelations.

We then shift gears to a captivating narrative of the hermetic life, as experienced by Russian nuns. Be prepared for a deep dive into the power of solitude, an exploration of how a solitary life can be a testament to spirituality. As we wrap things up, we bring you a compelling dialogue about personal dance. Explore the power of letting go, of stepping away from societal pressures, and discovering the melody of your own heart. This episode invites you to question, explore, and truly own your spiritual journey. Embark on a transformative journey of introspection and self-discovery with us today.
