Hello, you are listening to the Secular Buddhism Podcast, and this is episode number 29.

I am your host, Noah Rosheta, and today I am talking about what happens when we die.

Welcome back to the Secular Buddhism Podcast, a weekly podcast that focuses on Buddhist concepts,

topics, and teachings presented for a secular-minded audience.

Remember, do not try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist, use it to be a better

whatever you already are.

That's one of my favorite quotes by the Dalai Lama, so please keep that in mind as you

listen to this episode.

And if you enjoy the podcast, please share it with others, write a review, or give it a

rating a night's oons.

And if you're in a position to be able to, I would encourage you to consider making a
