Summary: Announcements: As I mentioned last time, this week we'll be covering ALL the basics of Buddhism. On this show, we'll look at some facts about Buddhism, talk about the life of Buddha, have a look at what he had to say, and see how to live according to the rules. That's a lot for one show, and this will probably be the longest episode ever,. I think it's worth doing in one big chunk, because when this episode is done, you'll know the ideas that underlie about 90% of everything else in Buddhism. And now let's get to this week's material!
