The Sentient Beans Podcast
Welcome to The Sentient Beans Podcast, a series where I, Cara Liu, a life-long practicing Buddhist, explore how Buddhism and spirituality can resonate with today’s modern generation. Each episode dives into conversations with spiritual leaders, teachers, and thought-leaders, sharing their expert insights to help you live a more mindful, peaceful, and purpose-driven life.
Buddhism, like many spiritual traditions, can often seem daunting or inaccessible. My mission is to break it down, making these timeless teachings relatable, practical, and empowering for everyone. Whether you’re new to Buddhism and spirituality or simply seeking ways to enrich your life, join me on this transformative journey toward greater clarity, connection, and compassion.
Let’s walk this path together! ✨
