About this episode

The episode discusses the deeper implications of the 5th precept in Buddhism, focusing on consumption and delusion.

The 5th precept is more than just an admonition not to drink or use drugs, but is an invitation to look at our consumption and how we may numb ourselves and become lost in delusion. It's from this deluded place where we can cause the most harm to others and to ourselves. Recorded June 6, 2026 in the virtual world Send me a text with any questions or comments!
