84000 in Conversation
84000 in Conversation is an ad hoc series with special guests dropping in to share stories, histories, and initiatives, and to help us map the sūtras for modern life. This series is hosted by 84000 associate editor, Joie Chen.
We hope this compilation of teachings helps to strengthen the connections between practitioners and the words of the Buddha. Past episodes are linked below.
