Episode 3 of Season 3 or is that Series 3? Depends if you are from the US I guess.

Anyway this episode is all about Fear. Why do we fear things, how does it manifest and why can it end up changing to anxiety.

Included in this episode is a mention of the mantra 'Nam-myoho-renge-kyo' which loosely translates as 'Glory to the Dharma of the Lotus Sutra' and is recited to assist in overcoming obstacles to success or happiness.

The book that started of our connection to the chant was the book Bodhisattva Blues by Edward Cantor-Williams

By the way there are no Wild Lions in Porthcawl.
