Hello and welcome to another episode of the Secular Buddhism Podcast.

This is episode number 169.

I am your host, Noah Rosheta.

And today I'm going to talk about the teaching of the 84,000 gates.

As always keep in mind you don't need to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist.

You can use what you learn to simply be a better whatever you already are.

A quick recap. So the three doors of liberation are emptiness, signlessness and aimlessness.

Starting with aimlessness, this is having no goal.
