About this listen

Alice has some questions about meditation in the modern world. She grew up a Buddhist and is sometimes worried meditation has become too corporate. Ash has a couple of stories about the history of meditation that might help with her concerns.

The first takes place at labyrinth in the east of England. Here Ash learns about a secular history of meditation. Then it’s off to pre-colonial Burma (unfortunately not literally). Ash interviews the historian Erik Braun about Ledi Sayadaw, the man who spread meditation to the masses.
