History Encoded: The origins of Buddhism

In this introduction to the origins and basic beliefs of Buddhism, Karim Ali interviews monk Ajahn Punnadhammo and me (Claire Villarreal). Listen for his take on the Buddha’s life story, the Four Noble Truths – and some questions I’ve never thought to address, like is there a Buddhist “creation story”? Check out Karim’s podcast, History Encoded, to learn more about the world’s religions.
