Into the AbsurdEpisode #9: The Dragon (Introduction to Buddhism)A simple introduction to Buddhism. If you would like to learn more about Buddhism, I recommend reading Siddhartha by Herman Hesse and The Dhammapada.
This is a re-recording of episode #9: The Dragon. I had Luchia Pike narrate that episode, but after some thought I realized that it would be better for my voice to narrate all solo episodes of the podcast to avoid inconsistencies.
