Buddhist Books

Hosted by Edward Reib, an American author and yoga teacher living in India, this podcast is a long-term project to read the entire Buddhist canon in English. Reib, who is not a formally ordained monk, provides approachable and sometimes skeptical commentary as he works his way through various traditions, from the Pāḷi Canon to Zen and Tibetan texts. His father, John Dan Reib, was a writer on esotericism who taught him Tibetan Buddhist meditation from a young age. Before moving to India in 2018, Reib worked in the entertainment industry and has since become a certified yoga and Thai Yoga Bodywork practitioner.
