I'm answering your questions about Buddhism and Buddhist practice in this episode! I recently asked on social media what your questions are, and I got quite a few! This episode will be long due to the number of questions, but feel free to jump to a question if you'd like.
Here are the questions:
00:00 Introduction
00:30 Is the emptiness of self any different from the emptiness of objects in the world? And if all is empty, does restraint, compassion, or ethical virtue have any meaning?

15:30 Is music used in meditation practices?
18:35 Buddhist guidance on manifestation.
22:35 How can we keep our practice up when our worldly life is taking so much time/energy.

47:07 How to handle attending a temple for the first time.
51:19 The differences in levels you can attain in Buddhism!
57:59 why do so many schools of Buddhism have deities, reincarnation, metaphysical stuff. when buddha refused to talk about afterlife as it was a distraction from the present and specifically said I'm not a deity
