"Live with Dharma Punx NYC" is a talk show about integrating our views and beliefs into an authentic spiritual practice. To be authentic we need to be willing to be willing to express our dissatisfaction with society's oppressive systems and capitalist propaganda, responding in our own way, even if that means being different from those who came before us. A revolution in consciousness starts with exercising one's inalienable rights to express and hold the entire human emotional palate, from happiness and conviction to despair, disappointment and confusion. 

To live amidst systemic corruption and painful power dynamics we can find freedom in a spiritual practice based on tolerance, acceptance of difference, the risk of authentic expression. This show will explore some of the timeless Buddhist approaches to achieving such liberation.
