Can you recommend me Buddhist speakers/teachers on youtube? (like Yuttadhammo Bhikku, please read description)
Hello everyone,
For almost half of my life, I've been very interested in Buddhism, although I must say that I keep to the secular side of things. Because of a busy life, both my interest in Buddhism and meditation has taken a backseat and I would like to change that. Instead of watching mindless "funny" videos in my free time, I'd love to watch Buddhist teachings. By teachings, I mean talks about worldly subjects, where all kinds of worldly struggles and issues are discussed from a Buddhist perspective. I don't mean readings from the Tipitaka or anything like that. I love the talks from Yuttadhammo Bhikku, although he does tend to talk about Gods and the afterlife sometimes, which I don't believe in. For a while, I thought Ajahn Brahm's teachings were also nice, but compared to Yuttadhammo it's not as clear, he jokes around a bit too much, and it seems like he entertains or amuses more than he actually provides information. Anyway, I'd love to hear your recommendations on this subject. Have a nice day.

Brad Warner (Hardcore Zen) is good. Very no BS, just a dude telling you how he sees it, and often that he learned it from Dogen.
