“I think there are a number of ways that we move into action that's characterized by integrity and where, you know, healthy altruism and compassion are present. I'm very grateful that I'm an old Buddhist , you know, with years of practice behind me and the practice of cultivating intentional balance, cultivating emotional balance, really being able to self-reflect on what, what's going on in my body, what's happening in the stream of my emotions and thoughts. So, you know, all of this has been of benefit to me over the years of practice in terms of stabilizing myself and being more able to engage, less done in by the work that I do. I mean, I'm 80 years old and I feel, you know, mostly full of life, and, and, and humor and so forth. And I really attribute it to the mindset that has come out of these decades of practice.” My guest today is the brilliant Joan Halifax—a Buddhist teacher, Zen priest, anthropologist, and author of many books, including Being with Dying and Standing at the Edge. The founder, Abbot, and Head Teacher of Upaya Zen Center, a Buddhist Monastery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Joan has dedicated her life's work to engaged and applied Buddhism, with a particular emphasis on end-of-life care.  Today, she shares with us wisdom gleaned from Zen traditions, mindfulness practices, and the Buddhist approach to death; drawing from her groundbreaking research on compassion and decades of experience working with the dying and their caregivers all the while. As our current reality pushes us all to the existential exploration of suffering, altruism, and meaning, Joan's words become an exceptionally valuable source of inspiration, guiding us to the edges of our human experience in order to discover wise hope, truth, and a fuller realization of what it is to be alive.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Pathological altruism… Serving with our self, not our strength… Compassion is adaptive… MORE FROM JOAN HALIFAX: Standing at the Edge: Finding Freedom Where Fear and Courage Meet Being with Dying: Cultivating Compassion and Fearlessness in the Face of Death Explore JOAN'S WEBSITE Follow her on INSTAGRAM and TWITTER To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

This is the first of a two-part series on the relationship between flourishing and flow - the psychological state of optimal experience and performance. Research suggests that experiencing flow significantly enhances our well-being.   In this episode, we talk to Dr Carol Grojean and Dr Brent Hogarth about the flow state and its relationship to flourishing. As a Leadership professional in the areas of Organizational Effectiveness, Project Management, and Transformational Change, Dr Carol Grojean has spent the past 20 years' guiding large, complex, strategic initiatives. Carol is adept at designing and implementing programs which drive strategic business and organizational culture shifts through building trust and delivering results. With extensive business process, project, and program management skillset built on 3 Masters degrees and a Ph.D. in organizational systems psychology: leadership and social transformation as well as wilderness rite of passage guiding, council facilitating, and peace mediation training. Carol brings a unique and much-needed perspective on the human behavior in human systems, focused on building cultures where individuals at all levels can bring their distinct, creative talents to their roles while providing the necessary skills to the whole system values and vision.   Dr. Brent Hogarth is a Sport and Clinical Psychologist from Vancouver, Canada. He is an expert in training flow-state, mindfulness, and self-control for both sport and corporate athletes. Brent has significant training and experience providing performance enhancement and mental health counseling. This includes, but is not limited to, working with Olympic and professional athletes, serial entrepreneurs, members of the USA military, computer engineers, authors, hedge fund managers and more. Brent's clinical counseling experience is vast, and he sees everyone as having the ability to be a high-performer. He completed his Doctoral fellowships at the University of Texas, at El Paso, and Lehigh University, in Bethlehem, PA. After a short stint as a fitness trainer, he traveled to India where he lived in a Buddhist Monastery and completed a Yoga Teacher training Course. It was at this moment - sitting in meditation on the hills of McLeod Ganj, India - that Brent committed to becoming a psychologist. Dr. Hogarth is a Humanistic-Existential psychologist. His theoretical orientation is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT uses acceptance and mindfulness strategies, together with commitment and behavior change strategies, to increase psychological flexibility. Psychological flexibility means contacting the present moment fully, and based on what the situation affords, changing or persisting in behavior in the service of clients' chosen values.   Key conversation points: The place of flow in human flourishing Why focusing on integration of the self and experience is important for flow: “doing” vs. “being”, and integrating the “me” with the “we” Why it's important for getting into flow to not try to get into flow, but rather to “let go” The importance of embracing and engaging in a process of struggle to get into flow The importance of being aware of the potential dark side of flow   flourishfmpodcast.com

As many around the world turn inward this week, we bring you a special episode featuring Christiana Figueres from ‘The Way Out Is In' podcast. Many of us are looking for a way out of the crises we face. Climate, biodiversity, ecological, nature, health, wealth inequality…not to mention the deeply personal, familial, and interpersonal. A quick log in to twitter, checking the news, or reading the latest IPCC report reveals to us that we are on a path towards breakdown. We know there is a pathway out of this ‘atlas of human suffering' as United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres recently said, but how do we chart that path? This week, we suggest that the way out of suffering is in it. Today we are sharing an episode from ‘The Way Out Is In' podcast, produced by Plum Village, the Buddhist Monastery founded by the Late Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. Thich Nhat Hanh and his teachings were a vital support to Christiana in the lead up to the Paris Agreement and beyond.  In this episode, you'll hear co-hosts Jo Confino and Brother Pháp Hữu invite Christiana on to share deeply about what brought her to Plum Village, both now and years ago during her first encounter with Thich Nhat Hanh; her journey to a spiritual practice that helped her overcome a personal crisis, and the transformative power of practices such as ‘deep listening' and ‘interbeing' on the negotiation process of The Paris Agreement. So get comfortable, settle in, and join us for a special listen to Episode #21 of ‘The Way Out Is In' - Being the Change We Want to See in the World: A Conversation with Christiana Figueres [Content warning: This episode includes mentions of suicidal thoughts at 00:25:00 for approximately two minutes – listeners who could find this discussion distressing may wish to skip this section.]   —   Christiana + Tom's book ‘The Future We Choose' is available now!

When a friend who knows my spiritual path recommended I schedule a stay in a Buddhist Monastery as a part of my development, I was shocked. Never had Buddhism been on my radar before and I knew next to nothing about it. As they say, when the student is ready, the master appears. Following two weeks at Temple Forest Monastery in New Hampshire, I left with a ton of knowledge about Buddhism, about myself, and about the perfect harmony between my own beliefs and those of the Buddha. This episode will offer a very simple overview of Buddhism and then share some of the most impactful lessons I learned during this life-shaping experience.

Life in a Japanese Buddhist Monastery written by Mark Cartwright and narrated by Jennifer Sabir: https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1423/life-in-a-japanese-buddhist-monastery/ Buddhist monasteries have been part of the Japanese cultural landscape ever since the 7th century CE, and they remained both powerful and socially important institutions right through the medieval period. Today, many of Japan's finest examples of ancient and medieval architecture are located at temple complexes, a good number of which are classified as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The monks who lived, worked, and meditated in Buddhist monasteries not only served their local communities on their way to reaching enlightenment but also produced some of Japan's finest historical works of art in painting, sculpture, and calligraphy.  If you like our audio articles, please support us by becoming a member or donating to our non-profit company: - www.worldhistory.org/membership/ - www.worldhistory.org/donate/ - www.worldhistory.org/patreon/ - www.worldhistory.store/ MUSIC USED Lotus Blossom

Scottish-born musician and academic Dr. Adam Greig found himself being thrown into the deeper end of building one of India's most innovative institutes from the ground up when a chance classified ad in the UK after his gap year spent working and teaching at a Buddhist Monastery in India ended up in an interview he wasn't really counting on. Shortly before his sexual orientation was re-classified as 'illegal' in India after his arrival.   In the decade that followed the KMMC churned out a few generations of musicians embodying unique artistic profiles that have been a giant step in making the impossible possible: integrating eastern and western traditions of education in a manner that is authentic, inclusive, and globally relevant, blurring lines between social idiosyncracies and building bridges that set stunning examples of what the future of the arts can be when treated with the right mix of sensitivity and passion.   Collaborations with the likes of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Queensland University of Technology, Berklee College of Music, ROLI, Apple, Google and Nokia, representing the institution on platforms as diverse as YouTube Originals ARRived, to Netflix series 'The Creative Indians' alongside founder of the KMMC, the iconic, oscar-winning composer Dr. A. R. Rahman (with whom he has been coordinating the AR Rahman Foundation on some of India's most relevant social projects, including the signing of an MoU between KMMC and Nagaland to support further cross-supportive musical activities), all stand testimony to this mammoth growth.   In this long-form conversation, I catch up with my dear friend and colleague to look back on the decade that's been since our last encounter, white privilege and the LGBTQ community in India and the possible manner in which all of this might co-relate to the potential risks of a post-colonial love affair with victimhood.   This episode is brought to you by:  www.holisticpianoacademy.com  (Get a 25% discount on all courses as a podcast listener here) Music by: www.everynowheremusic.com Text: www.tlwrites.com Produced by T.L.

The ancient Buddhist Monastery.... the clue of the Spruce tree... A discovery of an ancient tunnel hidden away.... The treasure awaits!

We are delighted to share with you a conversation with our fellow podcaster Nathan Thompson: Poet, Journalist, Buddhist Practitioner, and self-taught Ashtangi, as well as the host of the Escaping Samsara Podcast. Nathan is a peculiar sort of Englishman. In that he is entirely self made. He seems to have created a career for himself by weaving together a colorful tapestry, in the way that Americans used to (or were assumed to have done in the old days). The English, as Russell will tell you, have the distinct notoriety of being quite class bound. Karl Marx himself said there was no nation more bound for revolution than Great Britain, or words to that effect. And yet, that is exactly what Mr. Thompson has done in remaking himself. He grew up near London, surprisingly in an Evangelical Christian culture, with many other thousands in his familial community to gather in the happy-clappy spirit. However, coming down from these singularly peak experiences was humiliating in its own way. Russell pointed out that it resembled Peter Gabriel's annunciation in Solsbury Hill. How do we live in the meantime? How do we just fold laundry after all that? Subsequently, in his teens Nathan tumbled headfirst down the deep tunnel of drug use and sank into a pattern of addiction. After a decade of darkness, he found his feet again through the practice of Vipassana Meditation in the lineage of S.N Goenka, a tradition that both he and Harmony share a connection with. Nathan again forged his own path creating a career as a traveling Poet, which helped propel him on his ongoing spiritual quest to taste the nectar of pure, eternal, unadulterated bliss: the kind of thing you can fold laundry with. A friend asked him to teach English and so you will hear how he moved to Cambodia with a nonprofit organization, and found himself living in a Buddhist Monastery. Here wildly, out of this little hut, he flourished as a Journalist and head of the Foreign Press Club of Cambodia. Likewise, Nathan, taught himself the Ashtanga yoga practice in an idiosyncratic way, watching videos and trying all the postures from a single series all at one time. We touch upon the differences between being self-taught as a practitioner in this tradition verses having a teacher who will give you a pose and guide your practice, and how the desire to accumulate postures can become an addiction in itself. One of Nathan's favourite interviews on his podcast is with Ajahn Achalo, an Australian Buddhist monk living in Northern Thailand, who emphasizes the importance of cultivating Metta Meditation, so that you can call upon loving kindness whenever you need to.

Episode 36: Lose Yourself to Find Yourself with Bruce Kirkby “My biggest fear is that when I die the person I am meets the person I could have become.” – Author Unknown Our guest today is a truly extraordinary individual and one of the world’s leading wilderness experts. Bruce Kirkby grew up in Toronto as an engineering physicist by trade, but he had that itch that there was more to life than simply going through the same boring motions each day. Despite almost failing English in high school, Bruce became a wilderness writer and adventure photographer, and today he’s visited 80+ countries and is renowned for connecting wild places with contemporary issues. Some of his most notable accomplishments include the first modern crossing of Arabia’s Empty Quarter by camel, a descent of Ethiopia’s Blue Nile Gorge by raft, a sea kayak traverse of Borneo’s northern coast, and a coast-to-coast Icelandic trek. Bruce is the author of three bestselling books, winner of multiple National Magazine Awards, and has been featured in The New York Times. His TV show Big Crazy Family Adventure was released by the Travel Channel in 2015 and followed Bruce’s journey with his wife and two young children from their home in Canada to India with one condition – the only mode of transportation they couldn’t use was airplanes. In this interview, we'll look at: The moment when Bruce realized the traditional path wasn’t for him When he was taken hostage at gunpoint in Ethiopia What it was like traveling with his young family to Mt Everest and the Great Wall of China Lessons from living in a Buddhist Monastery in Tibet How to escape the modern grind and start enjoying life, and Parenting tips for 2020 and beyond.

After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley, Audrey went from working for a Silicon Valley start-up for 6 months to spending 6 months at a Buddhist Monastery. She then worked as an educator and is now a volunteer with ServiceSpace, which is an incubator that leverages technology to inspire generosity and volunteerism, particularly nurturing labour of love projects. We spoke about the transition from studying to working (and all the confusion that occurs in between), meditation, enjoying the not so linear journey of life, smile protests and the power of the 'not knowing' approach.

When most people think of an Arborist... it's not likely to include somebody like our guest zip-lining with a chainsaw while studying the biological makeup of the forest around him. Jon Perry, owner of Oahu Tree Works on the North Shore of Hawaii first found his passion for trees while living at a Buddhist Monastery in California.  After continuing on to the University of Hawaii and honing his crafts for years, he decided to go into business for himself... but not for the reasons that most people do. He has been in search of his craft being performed the way it should be, from his view, for quite some time now and is fortunate enough to guide others on his path.  In true conventioNOT Podcast flavor, Perry, a self described "medium" wave surfer shares a riveting story about a Great White Shark attack that he once witnessed as a young man. 

Sonya Lee, a UX expert, and business coach in Orange County, California, discusses how living a Buddhist monastery that left her emotionally scarred and struggling to know her true self. Being cut off from mainstream society initially stunted her growth, but rather than shrink back, she used the experience to push the boundaries of personal evolution and improve the human experience. Learn about how she self-diagnosed herself with complex PTSD and what steps she took to finally be freed from the mental illness.

Why Kendra lived at a Buddhist Monastery for a period of time and how it eventually led her to leave the monastery to lead relational dynamics with her now ex husband Two of her teachers: Sofia Diaz and David Deida Authentic relating: the practice of hiding nothing (not to be confused with share everything) How making assumptions about what people can and cannot handle from you can lead you to limiting yourself (all from just an assumption, too!)-- this is why we often show our full spectrum of emotions to some people, but not all people. How Kendra has learned what works for her when she feels jealous in her relationship (and how she communicates it with her partner) Letting your emotions flare How to be generous and patient while you learn to let your man lead (sometimes badly) How to not be defensive when your partner is doing his best to be honest and vulnerable Let {Him} Lead You Badly (video) Going three layers deeper so you move past the surface level complaint and get to the real desire An example of how we often sabotage our partner from taking the role of leader My fear of going deep into this woo-woo relationship realm and how it may disconnect me from the "mainstream" men I have available to date (and what Kendra has to say about that) The Myth of Being Met in Relationship You can be exactly who you are whether you are in a relationship or not: you never have to change your ways or your behavior (unless you decide to) How the masculine creates the structure and the feminine is the energy that fills it Why using a word like "energy" might feel better than a word like surrender Must-read book: The Art of Asking by Amanda Palmer Diptyque Rose Candles Connect with Kendra: Website Facebook

In his inaugural Huntington lecture, Phillip Bloom, The Huntington’s new director of the Center for East Asian Garden Studies and curator of the Chinese Garden, examines the history of Shizhuanshan, a hilltop Buddhist sanctuary in southwestern China constructed in the late 11th century. Bloom argues that, at Shizhuanshan, architecture, image, and text work together to transform the natural environment itself into a site for the eternal performance of Buddhist ritual. Recorded Nov. 21, 2017.

LAW 28: Enter Action With Boldness Don't half-ass it. Don't be the timid one at the back making everyone else feel uncomfortable. Fortune may not always favour the bold, but other people certainly do – and Law 28 is all about why. To celebrate Jon's return from a month meditating in a Buddhist Monastery, your hosts enter the podcast with beer as well as boldness and get stuck into why boldness and timidity are choices, not personality traits; why you're only as powerful as your last interaction with someone; and how society is trying to control you by confusing confidence with arrogance. What are the cumulative effects of putting up with other people's bullshit? How can we play the long game without tripping up over short-term problems? And what the hell is going on with people who loudly announce 'Oh my god, awkward!'? Jon and Dre also share their thoughts on the US Presidential election results, the police state that is Theresa May's Britain, and why Dre would rather be living under Stalin (at least he didn't half-ass it). They consider why hesitancy is the enemy of seduction and ask how can we overcome the fear of rejection and stop inventing egotistical stories to explain other people's actions? Plus, brand new examples of #accidentalpower! LINKS:http://voicesinthedark.world/2016/12/19/enter-action-with-boldness-exploring-the-48-laws-of-power-law-28/ This episode includes: The difference between being 'real' and simply being comfortable You can't hone and develop your skills without overcoming habits and resistance How to avoid being the pushover Living at the Edge of Incompetence The anti-seductiveness of hesitancy and awkwardness The psychology of poker: You can do everything right and still lose; you can do everything wrong and still win When states want more information about you, be extremely suspicious Ask for forgiveness, not for permission Betrayal and how to avoid the emotional fallout How to practise boldness How to reduce worry and become more effective in the moment The dangers of pre-worrying and getting stuck in the future The limits of 'extreme ownership' Mentioned in the Episode: Kopan Monastery, where Jon was meditating for the past month Check out our cool selection of t-shirts, ranging from the offensive to the philosophical A welcome reminder of Law 13 – appealing to people's self interest The great Terry Pratchett: grandmothers' funerals can be found in Men At Arms, and we also mentioned Hogfather – both the book and the very cool Some of Dre's core books: The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings; Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy; and the Tarzan books Richard Hammond failing to drive an F1 car fast enough to make it work Friend of the show, Peter Sage – Check out our powerful interview with him! The incredible works of Joseph Campbell – check this out for an introduction Captain Picard dropping some knowledge – 'It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.' The last time we heard from Count Lustig and his Eiffel Tower antics was Law 12: Use Selective Honesty and Generosity To Disarm Your Victim Philip McKernan's indispensable advice: 'In the absence of clarity, take action' Neil Strauss's classic book, The Game No Regrets from Robbie Williams Jocko Willink's Extreme Ownership Challenge: That thing you've been worrying about... TAKE ACTION! And tell us what happened. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. Join us as we continue our 48 Laws of Power review, exploring Robert Greene’s provocative and compelling book, in which he lays bare the history, practice, psychology, and philosophies of power that ultimately shape all human relations. Often seen as a handbook for the ‘modern Machiavelli’, we take a closer look, beyond the hyperbole, and discuss how understanding and implementing these Laws can actually enrich your life personally, professionally and spiritually. Jon and Dre aim to get to the heart of each of the Laws, grapple with their sometimes disturbingly amoral nature, and discuss what the Laws mean in everyday life (often revealing their own experiences – good and bad – when they’ve either observed or transgressed them).

SHOW NOTES: EPISODE 72: “Don't Panic!” This week Host Dave Bledsoe tries to calm everyone down with some soothing music and sonorous chants he learned spending seven days in Tibet. He was not technically at a Buddhist Monastery, but in what the madam of the Lhasa cathouse assured him was a very “spiritual place”. Speaking of spirituality, we've decided Trump Followers are more cult members than a political movement. Here's hoping they buy some Nikes and applesauce soon. With all the darkness and angst, we thought it best to remind of you all the reasons why a certain Tangerine Punch Bowl Turd will actually NOT be President, From his plummeting poll numbers to how very much he is hated by so many Americans. Along the way we play “This Week In Crazy Shit Trump Said” (If you have assassination on your score please claim your prize with Producer Gavin) We discuss the testicular sweat of a certain washed up retiring Yankee, and who REALLY founded ISIS. (Hint: Archer's Mom). We also ponder what might have been if Little Marco was still around. I mean he is, sorta, but in Florida and no one cares, not even Floridians. Promotional consideration this week is from returning sponsor, Reality Check, providing a much needed dose of reality to those most in need. We open the show with the minutes from a Trump Campaign meeting, or Joe Pesci and Robert Deniro in Casino, whatever. We close the show Living Colour's “Cult of Personality”. Keep Calm, Read 538.
