This podcast is the audio branch of Karuna Sangha. Karuna is commonly translated to mean compassion or actions that are taken to diminish the suffering of others and one’s self. A sangha, put simply, is a community of friends focused on awareness, attention, presence, and the present moment. By doing so the Sangha works together to achieve, patience, self-control, reason, forgiveness, sanctity, honesty, truthfulness, knowledge, control of the senses, and an absence of anger. In other words, a community grounded in compassion, and the collective effort to seek the knowledge of self-realization and embody our true nature that is often concealed by the ego. We seek this knowledge by studying and implementing the teachings and philosophies of the many Buddhist branches and their practices. We welcome all spiritual practitioners regardless of race, sex, sexuality, political affiliation, religious beliefs, etc. You’ll always be welcome, respected and appreciated. The ideas in this podcast are meant to highlight ways in which we can utilize the dharma in different aspects of our lives so that we may reduce our suffering and find contentment as often as possible.

The Six String Buddha podcast was created with the intent to share the wisdom of Buddhism and Eastern thought, from the viewpoint of a musician and music lover, for anyone curious to better understand the meaning behind the Dharma. The concepts are interpreted and presented using examples from music, art and personal experiences. Delivered through dialogue, interviews and discussions on the parallels between buddhist principles and lyrics of well known songs, Six String Buddha offers a unique and fresh perspective on a subject that’s often misunderstood, and explains it in simple terms, to leave the listener with a sense of how to use the concepts in their own life and live more mindfully. The Six String Buddha podcast is hosted by Joseph Carletta. Musician, Buddhist, Father and ordinary human being... “My mission is to share the powerful and transformative wisdom of Buddhism, through the sincerity of open dialogue, personal experience and the art of music. By doing so, I hope to inspire others to seek their own path toward self-awareness, compassion and gratitude. When more people awaken to the truth that all human life has value and purpose, I believe we can build bridges, rather than walls and usher in the next era of humanity. A peaceful future isn’t inconceivable, but it lies in our ability and commitment to finally put aside our differences and instead, embrace our similarities...”

Welcome to "Opening Dharma Access," a podcast where we hear stories from BIPOC teachers & practitioners about their Dharma experiences and practice, and how those inform the ways they are sharing & practicing the Dharma today.
Season 3 description: Hosted by Rev. Liên & Rev. Dana Takagi
This season, we will have a new focus: Uplifting and Forwarding Asian American/Asian Diasporic Buddhist Experiences in the West.
With our guests and audience, we will explore the specificities of Asian American/Asian Diasporic experiences. We take as given that there are generational differences (hence the historical moment matters!) and we hope to also delve into Asian family norms and values, our inchoate understanding of ancestor worship, issues of identity, representation, stereotypes about sexuality and sexual identity, and Asian American depression.
A theme we'll be using to help guide our conversations is The Disquiet - a term we are adapting from writer/poet Fernando Pessoa (The Book of Disquiet) -- which, in our view, signals a complex recognition of self, mind, and body. The evidence for the foregoing includes scholarly research indexed in aggregate statistics on depression, youth suicide, and other issues in immigrant or first-generation families. While Asian Americans are not alone in experiencing trauma, the racial languages and discourses of othering are different for us than for other groups.

What do we hope is the outcome of this podcast? Our first aim is to give voice to the range and depth of Buddhism in Asian and Asian American generations. We hope, in doing so, we help to shine a light on the limited or myopic envisioning of race in primarily white sanghas. Asian and Asian American diasporic truths about practice are a teaching for contemporary dharma organizations and centers. We recognize the depth and range of Asian and Asian Diasporic Buddhists is a wisdom mirror for organized Buddhism in the West.
