@_awbery_ @Meaningness Sorry for the imposition. Are there podcasts aimed at meditation beginners, esp. Vajrayana? "Buddhist Geeks", "Deconstructing Yourself", "Imperfect Buddha" are all fine, but the finer points of enlightenment, stream entry, etc. are not... applicable to me.

There’s quite a few meditation-for-beginners podcasts (according to my podcast app
@OvercastFM). I don’t know which (if any) are good, unfortunately. For Vajrayana, Unfettered Mind by@kenmcleod might be worth a try. Not aimed at beginners or mainly about meditation though!3 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

I like the interview format of
@buddhistgeeks and@DeconstructingU. I selfishly suggest that they interview teachers specifically about how they teach and help newbies. 1/43 replies 0 retweets 5 likes -

There are sooooooo many shows that are dedicated to beginners. Literally dozens and dozens.

In the format I mentioned? My search didn't find anything promising. Do you have any names? Maybe I should explain more clearly. As both a sometimes teacher (software consulting/training) and a learner, I find it useful to learn how others teach. 1/2

As an example that
@meaningness will recognize, I got better at learning from Schön's /Educating the Reflective Practitioner/, so I'd benefit from hearing meditation/practice teachers talk about their theory of teaching. 2/21 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

Ah I missed this point too. This does seem like it would be really interesting. Relatedly, one of my unwritten rants suggests that the lack of clerical training is one reason American Buddhism is mostly weak sauce.

I'd be interested in reading it. The whole "what is Buddhism in the West" is really interesting to me.

My posts begin life as a cesspool of unfounded complaints, unwarranted put-downs, quarter-baked ideas, and ill-considered snark. Sometimes they eventually gather some substance. This one has not yet reached that developmental stage.
