Does every human being have Buddha nature and Hitler potential within them? Are we destined to exist within one of these extremes? Are we forced to live according to our programming — genetic, cultural and familial — or are we capable of rewriting our future? Do we all truly have the potential to achieve Buddhahood, Christ consciousness, and Krishna consciousness. And if so, how?
The more we understand what makes a person who they are, the more we discover how to change ourselves. The more we change ourselves, the more we instinctively help others change and the more we can shape society into a more peaceful and loving place. Then soon we'll have a billion little Buddhas running around.
In this podcast, I explore how we can escape those darker impulses of the human condition. I talk about how we can nurture those better angels of our nature. And I share how we can break free from our past to create a more incredible future.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
