0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of the Secular Buddhism podcast. This is episode |
0:14.7 | number 207. I am your host, Noah Rusjeda. I want to remind you, as always, that you don't need to use |
0:21.8 | what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist. You can use what you learn to simply be a better |

2:09.2 | And in there, in the passage, he says, many people come to the Dharma because they are |
