Sam will be discussing current events and answering some of your questions on another episode of “More From Sam” soon. Please drop any topics or questions you’d like to hear Sam discuss below!
Sam, it’d be great if you could touch on your decade abroad in your twenties. Could you summarize your experience in greater detail and offer general advice (or admonishment) for someone considering a similar path? Below are some more additional targeted questions around that:
I heard in a Waking Up conversation that you “showed up” to a temple (where there was a Westerner smoking a cigarette or something) How did you eventually settle into a group to travel and meditate with? How did you settle into a specific tradition?
How did you navigate the more ritualistic, less-scientific components (I.e. prayers, samsara, etc.) of Buddhism while remaining committed to the path?
