This website section lists some short Facebook video reels (90 seconds only!), which are generally on questions and topics related to Buddhist philosophy, conduct, practice and ideas.
Although I am not a realised or great being, I create these reels to share my experience and study of Buddha Dharma with other practitioners and those interested in knowing more about Buddhism and Dharma. For details about my qualifications to speak on these Buddhist topics, please see bio, CV and research, talks, interviews, podcasts, publications, study background etc., here.
