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!
"Join us for our next Wisdom Dharma Chat with Ani Choying Drolma!"
ANY CHOYING DROLMA
JOINS HOST DANIEL AITKEN FOR A SPECIAL EPISODE OF
WISDOM DHARMA CHATS
ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 2025 at 7:00 PM EDT
We are honored to welcome Ani Choying Drolma—a beloved Nepalese Buddhist nun, humanitarian, and internationally renowned vocalist—for a special episode of Wisdom Dharma Chats with host Daniel Aitken.
Ani-la will share insights into her spiritual journey—from a childhood marked by hardship to finding sanctuary in monastic life and ultimately discovering music as both a refuge and a powerful vehicle for compassion. Together, she and Daniel will explore how music can become a spiritual practice in its own right. They will discuss Ani-la’s remarkable humanitarian work, including the founding of the Arya Tara School, which empowers young nuns, and how she continues to use her voice—not only in song but in service—to uplift the lives of others.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear from an inspiring Buddhist figure—an artist, activist, and teacher who reminds us what’s possible when the Dharma is expressed not only through words, but through action, melody, and deep, unwavering care.
