Description

In this episode of No Doubt, we will look at the commonly used phrase "Rest in Peace" and whether Shin Buddhists can get behind that phrase. Spoiler alert: we can't. However, there is a much cooler phrase that I think we can agree with, which is "Rest in Power." In the second segment, we will continue with the topic of doubt and how it is related to human contrivance and calculation.
