this is a very nice episode. thank you for bringing to us all this material.
from my own budhist practice i would disagree with few things from this episode. but of course there are many buddhist schools. become a monk is like hiding yourself from the real world. if we want to become strong we have to be able to fight with our desires, circumstancies, ect. that way we grow as a person. first budda Shakyamuni believed that we all have the buddha inside, it's in dormant state when not practising but wakes up when practise.it's difficult to accept that all people are buddhas, even your boss that causes you problem all the time ;) thats why it's so difficult to practice buddhism.
but it's so beautiful, beacuse you can learn a lot about yourself and your enviroment.
