In this episode, Sarah challenges Jacob's knowledge of Buddhism by testing him with questions most of us don't know the answers to. You might be surprised to learn that reincarnation is not technically associated with Buddhism. And have you ever wondered if the original Buddha was a vegetarian? And have you ever thought about when Buddhist teachers are asked, "Do you believe in God?" how do they respond? And do Buddhist vow to be evangelical and awaken all beings? Find out the answers to these questions and more. Please leave us a review if you like this episode!
