My First Monastery — An Introduction to Buddhism

Without knowing hardly anything about Buddhism, Todd Perelmuter decided to jump in with both feet by going to live at a Buddhist monastery as a monk in the Himalayan mountains in India.After months living in complete silence, without technology or a phone, and even without books except for Buddhist texts, Todd discovered a wisdom and philosophy that would totally change his life as it had for countless Buddhists for more than two and a half millenia.In this podcast you'll learn about this time-tested, age-old, life-changing philosophy as Todd recounts his story there. As a Buddhist monk told Todd in his time there, "Buddhism is not a religion, it is a way of life." No matter what you believe, or don't believe, their psychological and spiritual techniques can surely help anyone get through anything.To learn more about Buddhism and mindfulness, check out this great video that really gets to the heart of what mindfulness means and how to apply it to your daily life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTPCJgvRLl4For other info and to ask us any questions you may have, reach out to @ToddPerel on Twitter or Instagram and we'll do our best to answer it in a blog, podcast or YouTube video.Until next time, peace and love.*****If you ever feel like my words brought a change in your life, and want to show your SUPPORT for what I am doing, click here.

Om Podcasten

Welcome to the podcast, Path to Peace with Todd Perelmuter. My goal is to help everyone realize their full potential, become their most enlightened selves, and make this world a happier and more peaceful place. Having seen so many around me suffering from stress, addiction, suicidal thoughts, anxiety and depression, I decided to embark upon a 9-year journey that would take me to over 35 countries living with and learning from shamans, gurus, monks and tribes. I studied 16 religions and spiritualities, ancient wisdom and modern science, and spent 50 days meditating in total solitude, all in an effort to discover the secrets to a peaceful mind. If you’re ready to let go of your negative thoughts and the baggage that is weighing you down, if you’re ready for a life filled with joy, purpose and meaning, please join me on the Path to Peace with Todd Perelmuter.
