Nikki Mirghafori walks the walk. She has learned and practiced the dharma including during her own very challenging times. When Nikki interviewed on my Beat the Prosecution podcast, she riveted me with her devotion to mindfulness and to teaching others mindfulness. You will thank yourself for listening to Nikki.

Over the last ten years of my practice the teachings provided via Audio Dharma have been a source of guidance and encouragement.

AudioDharma has for more than a decade been a resource for developing my understanding of Buddhism as an ethical and religious system, both in theory and practice. The variety, volume and timespan of speakers and topics is as comprehensive as you will find anywhere. I highly recommend this podcast for another with an interest in Buddhism.

I have listened to this podcast on and off for years and have loved each and every episode. More recently, I’ve been listening daily. Kudos to Gil Fronsdal and the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City, CA for providing such a meaningful, intentional, and much needed service to the world via these podcasts. I’m eternally grateful!

I’ve been listening for 10 years and I’ve become a much better person because of it. I have been given the gift of calm, where I used to react so quickly. Gil is my hero (even though I’m sure he doesn’t want to be on a pedestal), I’m forever grateful to him for changing my life in my 20s. I hopefully have many more years to spread peace, love, and kindness, because of this podcasts influence. Much love, Zen Hen Sanctuary

Thank you so much for making this available to us. What a wonderful gift

Thanks to everyone who makes these available. I know it takes considerable effort and care by so many. I am grateful to you.

I’ve been listening to Audio Dharma for several years. I call these podcasts truly a gift, freely given, from the heart. I never met Gil or the other teachers personally, but the talks have throughout the years, been slowly transforming me in many positive ways.

Hello - thank you Gil, Niki, Diana and Andrea. I feel as though you and the sangha are my friends. I have learned so much about myself through your teaching. I learned to meditate through gil’s meditation instructions. All of you have explained Buddhism with kindness, compassion and a friendly attitude that has helped me treat myself and others with more care and love. I recommend your podcasts to everyone I know. Love you all!

I would like to recognize all the teachers for sharing the teachings. In the beginning the concepts were so foreign to me it was hard understand however over time I am beginning to grasp the concepts of the Buddha teachings. The unwinding of our thoughts, feeling and emotions has brought much wisdom, understanding, and insight which has contributed significantly to my quality of life.

So grateful to have access to Gil Fronsdal’s dharma online talks. His translation of the Dhammapada is superb.

If i could only subscribe to one Dharma or meditation related podcast, this would be it. I've been meditating for 20 years in a variety of Buddhist traditions (vipassana, Zen, Dzogchen etc.) but Gil Fronsdal is the one teacher i continually return to again and again. There is something so simple, pure, hearfelt and uncontrived about his teachings and the style in which he delivers them (i say "simple" but they are deceptively profound).... I could gush on and on but let me just add this: I relied on Gil's guidance from this pod to help shepherd me through a 30 day solo meditation retreat. For that alone, i'm forever grateful! Love you Gil!!!

Insight Meditation & Retreat Centers, & their extraordinary Dharma teachers, have helped change my life-long thought patterns. Consistent sitting with Audio Dharma guided meditations & Dharma talks is the most effective ‘medicine’ I’ve experienced, thus far.

Many many sleepless nights, listening to Gil soothes my mind and helps me fall asleep.

This podcast is invaluable to me. The daily guided meditation helps me to be consistent and maintain my practice. The daily Dharma talks bolsters my reading of Dhammapada and helps with the interpretation and meaning of the suttas. The teachers at IMC great job all round.

My favorite podcast hands down. “There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment. A man's whole life is a succession of moment after moment. There will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue. Live being true to the single purpose of the moment.”

Gil you’re a refreshing & comforting guide, thank you.

I used to listen the ZenCast back in 2014. So grateful to have found Gil here again.

Thank you for the guided meditation today. Helps a lot in this rather scary time. 🙏

Listening to Gil has been a consistent support and source of encouragement for me over the last 6 years. Whether I’m driving, on a subway, or even going to sleep, his soothing voice and beautifully presented content immediately helps me connect to deeper parts of myself. I highly recommend.

This podcast is a true life saver for me.

I have been listening to Gil and Andrea for years. Their words are absolutely life-changing. Prepare to have your perspective shifted and your mind opened.

Gil has been my guru for over a decade, though I’ve never met him and he doesn’t know I exist. If you want to get your head on straight and keep it that way, listen to Gil and the other wonderful teachers here. Seriously. I’d be lost in a hopeless pit of despair if it weren’t for this podcast. Gil has made such a difference in my life, and his wisdom certainly flows through everything I touch and all my relationships.

Thank you Gil for sharing your words of wisdom. I listen to you often and enjoy your delivery. To care and not to care was so timely for me as my youngest leaves for college this week. I know it was not intended for that but it brought me peace as I struggle to come to terms with being an empty nester. Thank you and Namaste.

Good talks to stay grounded and present to human tendencies.

I try to listen to these but the noises they make when they are speaking is just too distracting. You can really hear everything from lips smacking, to the tongue rolling around and when they speak it's like they are told to not talk in a normal tone but a soft loud enough whisper to convey what they are talking about. I can't listen to this podcast anymore. Great topics of discussion though!

Gil is a lifesaver. Wise, gently humorous, a voice that has consistently inspired, educated, entertained, fascinated, advised and comforted me these past five years. And I’ve never even met the man! Hope I do some day, so I can thank him.

It is truly a blessing to have these talks and guided meditations freely and publicly available. I have benefited so much from Audio Dharma’s uploads since I first discovered IMC’s website in 2013. Thank you for sharing the teachings and practice with all of us around the globe!

These talks helped me on a road of healing and enlightenment that has continued for the last 4 years. I’m very grateful for each teaching. Thank You and keep up such great work. The Buddha has change my life :)

Gil is one the most relatable and knowledgeable teachers of the Buddha dharma of our time. And he is supported by a solid team and great community. If you can’t be at IMC every week (I live on the other coast) then this podcast is a great option. Highly recommend

i have listened and studied through Gil and this podcast everyday for three years. It has changed my life. Truth, wisdom, generosity and peace. I cannot express properly the ways in which this podcast and the ability to connect has helped me. Thank You !!

This is the place i go to, helps me quiet my mind. Thank you!

If not for this podcast, I would still be in such a cluttered place.

Truly a gift to the public. Listen, explore and meditate!

It’s just great

I always learn something from them and there are ones that are only 7 or 8 min long or ones that are 30-40 min long so I can listen to them all the time. I highly recommend subscribing to them to learn about Buddhism. They give me so much peace

Gil's talks always make me feel centered, peaceful and give lots of food for thought. The other teachers are also very good. Great podcasts!

My husband and I have been listening to your Podcasts regularly for many years. You have become an important foundation for our lives. Living in a remote rural place, we are especially thankful for these podcasts; Without them, we would never have had the opportunity to hear the message you share.

I'm truly grateful for Audio Dharma. I started my mindfulness journey over a year and a half ago and have not met anyone to talk to about it or to learn from. There aren't many places around where I live to get information about mindfulness or Buddhism. The audio Dharma podcast has been my 'church' every morning in the car on the way to work. Not only are the speakers incredibly insightful and enlightening, the podcasts help me to feel like I have companions on my mindfulness journey. I highly recommend it.

The content is very good and I appreciate the podcast. My challenge is with the recording qulaity. The microphone is too close to the speaker's mouth and the constant "wet-noise" of the speaker licking his lips (?) of wetting his tounge is very distracting.

Gil is great; I had never heard of him before finding this podcast and now I really enjoy his talks. Everything is very accessible for newcomers and Gil explains things in a way that is easy to understand. If you are new: look for talks from the beginning of the year as he uses that as a refresher to come back and review the basics.

As a newcomer to Buddhism, I've very much enjoyed this podcast. I love how descriptive the titles are, as in not "Dharma talk 1" but "Not Self," etc. I feel like that is helpful to me because I'm able to target my approach to Buddhism and best supplement my reading. I really like how Andrea uses practical examples, I feel that as a scientist and medical student I enjoy her practicality (after listening to every podcast she's made on this app). Sometimes Gil goes over my head, but I can understand what he is saying after I think about it for a while. However, his guided meditations are on point. Anyway, that's all I have to say as a person who has been listening for over a year!

I listen to this podcast regularly. It is an important part of my practice since I don't have a Buddhist community near me. The only constructive feedback I would offer is that the titles need to be more informative. This podcast has a lot of content, many are series. It is hard to know easily which podcast is part of a particular series if I want to find the next one. Please, please tweak to something like, "Fronsdal mindfulness #4: free will?" Thanks!

I'm very grateful for this podcasts. I love listening to Gil's teaching and it's a great way to start or sometimes even end the day, listening to these on my way to or from work. Always inspiring and mind/heart opening. Thank you and please continue to upload!

great talks. well worth your time.

For more than 3 years, Audio Dharma has been a part of my life’s foundation. Gil and his team do a wonderful job of relating the dharma to the ebb and flow of everyday life. Very much a blessing!

Sensitive, insightful, and funny. Thank you Gil!

I listen to these during my morning commute. It's a great way to begin the day and get through traffic with fewer frustrations. Beyond that the podcast offers a way into Buhddhism that is clear & understandable. It inspires me to practice medetation and helps me to see the benefits of practicing if I get discouraged.

I feel this has helped me a lot to progress in becoming a saner, less neaurotic human being. And to, sort of, actually, meditate. Yea. Gil and Andrea are wonderful, thank you both! :)

i dig it.
