Introducing Words From My Teachers

Introducing Words From My Teachers, a premium, weekly Everyday Buddhism podcast. I started the Everyday Buddhism podcast in June of 2018 so that I could share the everyday approach to Buddhism that was instilled in me by my teacher Rev. Koyo Kubose and the Bright Dawn Lay Ministry program. It is an approach to Buddhism that was not widely taught or communicated at the time … and, honestly, still isn't.

The lineage from which the Bright Dawn teachings derived is unique in the Dharma-sphere and its teachings are what I built my podcast and virtual sangha approach on.

During an interview for an article I was writing years ago, Rev. Koyo Kubose said that:

When it comes to The Bright Dawn Center of
Oneness Buddhism, he mentioned that since we’re
starting our own legacy and tradition, the niche sutras
for our legacy and tradition are the writings of
Rev. Gyomay Kubose and the main goal of
Bright Dawn is to keep our central “sutras” of
Rev. Gyomay Kubose’s writings available,
keep his actual voice alive, and support the core
Lay Ministry program to spread the teachings.

It is my hope that this Words From My Teachers podcast will help keep Rev. Gyomay's and Rev. Koyo's voices alive by bringing them to listeners not familiar with the Bright Dawn teachings and reinforcing them to those who already appreciate them.
