by Susan Piver
Buddhism Beyond Belief is a podcast from Susan Piver, a 30 year student of Tibetan Buddhism and founder of the Open Heart Project, an online meditation community with close to 20000 members.
With Susan as a friend and guide, we will look at traditional teachings like the four noble truths and the six paramitas–but not from an academic standpoint. Rather, we will talk about how to make it all personal and relevant in everyday life.
This podcast is not about Buddhist doctrine. It’s about how anyone can bring the profound wisdom of the dharma into their real life: at home, at work, and in love. The foundation for it all is meditation as a spiritual practice, not the latest life hack. Let’s go beyond the science and celebrity testimonials to discover the true power of meditation which is not based in self-improvement but in self-discovery.
Susan is my humble hero. I’ve been a fan since the Interdependence Project podcast back in 2014. As a singer songwriter musician myself her stories of Austin Texas and her love of music can raise the hairs on my arms and create a smile across my face with all the warm fuzzies. Her Dharma is Real ☸️☯️☮️💟.

I love how Susan shares the buddhadharma and the musical after-party. This pod is quirky and at the same time refreshingly down-to-earth. Treat yourself to a few episodes. It’s like hanging out with a friend.

I love that the dharma is being metabolized by Susan and offered to us in such a creative and contemporary way. It’s been very helpful on my path (and I love the podcast after parties… you have to listen to understand!)

I was looking to deepen my understanding of Buddhism and my meditation practice. Susan’s podcast does both. Her voice is truly pleasant and calming as well. It has good tone! And sound quality is great. As a podcaster myself, I’m sensitive to good sound quality. I highly recommend it.

I love Susan in all her incarnations, be it written, video, or at her Open Heart Project- but if you ask me this podcast is perfect… the themes the length and of course for Susan’s very genuine desire to both teach and share. But don’t take my word for it! (One of my favorite sayings of hers) Listen for yourself.

I am so happy to have this podcast from Susan on the principles of Buddhism and how they relate to our lives. Susan is very knowledgeable and has practiced for many years but she has a unique way, with humor and simplicity and grace, to make it easy to understand. Particularly, in these tumultuous times (and aren’t there always tumultuous times?), these teachings provide a path. Thank you, Susan Piver!

Susan’s depth of wisdom, kindness, and wonderful storytelling reveal how easily and powerfully core tenets of Buddhism can be woven into our lives and make a real difference.

Congratulations Susan on the launch of your podcast! Now I have a concise way of explaining the three views that makes sense to me. That you know the essence of the views of the Hinayana, Mahayana and Vajrayana paths is clear from the simple and pithy explanations you give. I am impressed by your wisdom, courage and compassion and for embodying the vajrayana view of “let’s look for what you actually see”. I’m looking forward to the next episode.
