Buddha Weekly Interviews the Teachers — Suggest Your Teacher

Buddha Weekly Special Series Interviews with the Teachers

Following on the success of our immensely popular “What the Teachers Say” — where we pick a topic and ask five teachers for their views — Buddha Weekly announces a new series: “Interviews with the Teachers” an ongoing Buddha Weekly Special Series.

To view stories in the “Interview with the Teachers” series, click here>>

We hope to interview in person, by phone or by email (as convenient to the teacher), many Buddhist teachers, and publish the series as transcribed interviews. With the permission of the teachers, we may also stream video or audio of the interview. We seek to interview Buddhist teachers of all traditions: Zen, Mahayana, Vajrayana, Theravadan and other traditions and schools.

If you have a teacher you would like to suggest, please ask their permission, then contact us through this form or via our Facebook Page. If you are a teacher, we enthusiastically request you consider participating.

For an example of the format, please see the intro page to a three-part interview with Venerable Zasep Tulku Rinpoche of the Gelugpa tradition>>
