Episode 34 - Dharma Combat!" w/ Samuel Bercholz

Legendary founder/editor in chief of Shambhala Publications Samuel Bercholz returns for his 5th appearance on the podcast to pick up the mic he dropped here in January. Instead, he drops the mic at least 5 more times in this gorgeous new episode dripping with crazy wisdom, penetrating truths and an onslaught of questionable humor. Sparks fly as Samuel and Jaymee share about the rebellious nature of the Buddha and how skepticism is widely used as a vehicle toward developing Buddhist fatih. Sam explains what "Dharma Combat" is and "Latter Day Hippies" are, why he needed to die in order to learn how to be human, more first hand stories of being a close personal friend and student of Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche's, and of course... in the usual Sam fashion, a few more controversial nuggets you won't hear anywhere else.
