Have you ever wished there was a talk show that featured all Buddhist guests?
Would you like to take part in intimate conversations with some of the most interesting minds in the Buddhist world? Would you like to be the first to hear what they’re currently working on, what their practice looks like, what they’re thinking about these days? Would you like the opportunity to ask them questions and receive their guidance on how to live a more inspired life?
If so, we’d like you to join us for Wisdom Dharma Chats. Taking place on Wednesdays over Zoom, the Dharma Chats are a special live video version of the popular Wisdom Podcast (which has 1 million downloads and counting). We think you’ll leave the Dharma Chats feeling energized and newly inspired to practice and follow your own spiritual path.
Each Wisdom Dharma Chat takes you on a fascinating exploration of Buddhism and meditation as our guests share stories and discuss life-changing practices, timeless philosophies, and new ways to think and live. These chats are followed by a Q&A session in which you can ask your own questions to our guests. Episodes have featured guests like Robert Thurman, Ven. Robina Courtin, and Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche. See below for this week’s special guest and to watch previous episodes!

SARAH HARDING
JOINS HOST DANIEL AITKEN FOR A SPECIAL EPISODE OF
WISDOM DHARMA CHATS
ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 2025 at 7:00 PM EDT
We are delighted to invite you to a special episode of Wisdom Dharma Chats with translator and scholar Sarah Harding, as she joins host Daniel Aitken to discuss her latest work, Severance: The Early Practice of Chö, by Jamyang Gönpo. Join us online on Wednesday, July 2, at 7:00 PM EDT, as we explore the raw and transformative teachings of Chö—a Tibetan Buddhist practice that challenges us to directly face fear, abandon ego-clinging, and awaken to the profound nature of mind.
This intimate Wisdom Dharma Chat will introduce a fresh translation of three foundational Chö texts, revealing a practice rooted in fearlessness, direct experience, and spiritual liberation. Sarah will offer personal insights into the translation process, the historical context of Jamyang Gönpo’s writings, and how these teachings can support modern practitioners navigating uncertainty, suffering, and inner resistance.
This is a rare opportunity to hear from one of the leading Western translators of Tibetan Buddhist texts and to encounter the fierce clarity of Chö in its early form—a practice designed to cut through illusion and awaken wisdom.
