Wisdom Dharma Chats

With Host Daniel Aitken

 

Wisdom CEO and Publisher

 

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!

HIS EMINENCE KHANGSER RINPOCHE

JOINS HOST DANIEL AITKEN FOR A SPECIAL EPISODE OF
WISDOM DHARMA CHATS
ON WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 2025 at 7:00 PM EST

Please join us for the second Wisdom Dharma Chats episode of the year, featuring special guest His Eminence Khangser Rinpoche in conversation with host Daniel Aitken. This special event will take place in New York City before a live studio audience and will be streamed over Zoom on Wednesday, April 30, at 7:00 p.m. EST.

In this Wisdom Dharma Chats episode, Rinpoche and Daniel will explore the profound and transformative principle of taking the result as the path.

He holds both a geshe lharampa degree and a doctorate in tantra, each earned with highest honors at Gyuto Tantric Monastic University. Today, he serves as vice abbot of Gyuto Monastery and is the founder of Thangkar Dechen Choling Monastic Institute in Nepal. Through his leadership in both Dharma education and humanitarian service, Rinpoche has become one of the most respected Buddhist teachers of our time.

Whether you are a dedicated practitioner or a serious student of Buddhist philosophy, this Wisdom Dharma Chat offers a rare opportunity to engage with a core teaching, illuminated by a master.
