One evening per month, Ken McLeod meets with a small group of students for an in-depth question and answer session around Buddhism-related questions. He also answers questions that are submitted via e-mail. These sessions are recorded and posted on the UM website for practitioners who may have similar questions but have limited access to a teacher.

The group is limited to 5-6 people per session. If you cannot come in person, e-mail your question. Ken responds to as many e-mail questions as possible in each session.

Ideas for questions:

  • practice questions and challenges
  • mixing practice with daily life challenges
  • Buddhist approaches to job, family, friends, illness, death, etc.
  • better understanding of various points in Buddhist philosophy, e.g., karma, emptiness, the middle way, etc.
  • a question that arises about a book, text, or teaching
  • how one might regard current political, social, or cultural issues
  • application of practice in culture, ethics, and so on

If you'd like to participate send an email to and we'll take it from there. Please send your question beforehand so that we can select ones that represent a range of topics.

The podcasts of these question-answer sessions are available through iTunes or through our podcast catalog.
