Podcast Overview: In this deep, relaxing and peaceful conversation with Buddhist Monk, Kelsang Dornying (from the Kadampa Meditation Centre), we cover topics like how to live a happier more fulfilled life, mindfulness, meditation, Buddhism, anticipation, love and living in the moment. Lessons within this discussion will help you lead a happier, more content life if you put them into action.
Kelsang Dornying explains why a lot of people wander aimlessly through life, searching for happiness and never truly finding it. He then gives actionable advice on how to become a more peaceful, fulfilled and happier person (today!). He breaks down his concepts in this podcast and gives some great analogies that really help to explain his thoughts and ideas. If you’ve ever been interested in meditation, mindfulness, Buddhism and cultivating a calmer, more focused mind, then this self-development podcast episode will be great for you!
We also discuss Buddhism, Buddhist teachings, secrets to happiness and the Buddhist path to enlightenment. We touch on the certain states of mind that cultivate a happier way of being. Living in the moment and realising that we’re all impermanent. We talk about things like how at any given day at any given time life could end and the importance of really living your life to the fullest as you may not be here tomorrow.
This conversation goes deep and this description does not come close to doing it justice, so please tune in and let me know what you think in the comments section below! Do you agree with Kelsang Dornying and the Buddhist way of thinking and being? Why, why not?

GPE005 - (Minisode!) Short, Sweet Bluesy Hang Drum + Guitar Jam with the talented Sebby Guerrera
A little mix of hang drum (handpan) and guitar!
Thought I’d break up the episodes with this super short snippet from one of my recent jams with the very talented Sebastian Guerrera. It’s a strange combination of the handpan and Sebby’s 1957 Gibson Les Paul, and I think it kind of works! Let me know what you think and if you have any feedback on any of the eps so far, or any suggestion for future eps feel free to hit me up anytime michael@goodpeopleeffect.com
