Welcome to another episode of the Secular Buddhism Podcast. This is episode

number 68. I am your host Noah Rosheta and today I'm talking about questions about

Buddhism.

When I started this podcast a few years ago I started to receive several emails

with questions that people had to expand on a specific topic or to clarify a certain

teaching and I've been answering these questions for quite some time usually by email.

Then with the podcast being out I was eventually approached by a publisher and I was offered the

opportunity to write a book about Buddhism that just recently came out. It's available for preorder

now on Amazon and the book is called No Nonsense Buddhism for Beginners. Clear answers to

burning questions about core Buddhist teachings. I'm really excited to have this book out because

it's formatted in a question and answer format and broken into four specific parts. Part one is

questions about the Buddha. Part two is questions around core concepts. Part three has questions and

answers around core teachings and part four has questions around core Buddhist practices.

And this book is intended for anyone who's new to Buddhism but also to help practitioners who

have who are looking for a resource to be able to answer questions from friends or loved ones.

You may have noticed as you start to apply these concepts in your life it's common for people to

say oh you know you're you're interested in Buddhism. Well what does Buddhism say about this or

about that? If you're like me you've probably noticed that that is a common thing from friends and

family. So this book serves as a good platform to be able to address some of these questions to

answer them in a way that people who are not familiar with Buddhism or any concepts around Buddhism

would be able to understand the answers to some of those questions. So I thought it would be

cool to do a podcast episode to just quickly share with you some of the questions and answers
