About this episode
This episode of the Wisdom Podcast , recorded live as a Wisdom Dharma Chat , features an interview with Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche—teacher, filmmaker, writer, and founder of several nonprofit initiatives including 84000: Translating the Words of the Buddha . This episode was a special launch celebration for the 84000 app . Rinpoche and host Daniel Aitken discuss the importance and challenges of translating the Buddha’s words, how we should think about the Buddha’s original teachings, how Buddhism guides us through thinking about concepts like ignorance (rather than sin) and merit (as something that brings us closer to the truth), the role of technology in learning, practicing, and teaching Dharma, and much more.
