In a culture that views death only as a biological and morbid end to life, what can we learn from someone who has spent more than 50 years in end-of-life care? What inspiration can we draw from such a luminous life on how to best be of service to our loved ones in their final chapter of life, how to awaken our natural compassion, and on how to reframe our own relationship with death? Listen to some powerful insights on how death can be our greatest teacher from Roshi Joan Halifax, in an exclusive conversation with Prof. Hitendra Wadhwa, on Intersections Podcast. Roshi Joan Halifax is a Buddhist teacher, founder and head teacher of Upaya Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a social activist and author. She is a pioneer in the field of end-of-life care, has lectured on the subject of death and dying at many academic institutions and medical centers around the world, and has received many awards and honors from institutions around the world for her work as a social and environmental activist, and in the end-of-life care field. Roshi Joan has continued to work with dying people and their families, and to teach health care professionals and family caregivers the psycho-social, ethical and spiritual aspects of care of the dying. She is Director of the project, Being With Dying; Founder of the Upaya Prison Project that develops programs on meditation for prisoners; has been involved with the Mind and Life Institute since its inception; and is founder of the Varela International Symposium. Her books include The Fruitful Darkness: A Journey Through Buddhist Practice and Tribal Wisdom, Being with Dying: Cultivating Compassion and Wisdom in the Presence of Death, and Standing at the Edge: Finding Freedom Where Fear and Courage Meet. In this Intersections episode, Roshi Joan reveals: How our attitude towards death can help us find freedom in the present moment, and enable us to live a life true to ourselvesThree simple tenets of living that can radically improve our inner and outer perception, and how the world perceives usHow to awaken the natural compassion within us, and use our spheres of influence to make it contagious in the worldHow to best be of service to our loved ones in their final chapter of lifeAnd many compelling stories that illustrate our innate capacity for transcendence from our material, mental and physical conditions

The Mindful Parenting in a Messy World podcast with Michelle Gale is for parents who long to be meaningfully connected to themselves and their children, even as the demands and complexities of modern life are accelerated. Michelle and Roshi Joan explore parenting through five psychological territories she calls Edge States―altruism, empathy, integrity, respect, and engagement―each epitomizing strength of character. Yet each of these states can also be the cause of personal and social suffering. In this way, these five psychological experiences form edges, and it is only when we stand at these edges that we become open to the full range of our human experience and discover who we really are.  Joan Halifax has enriched thousands of lives around the world through her work as a humanitarian, a social activist, an anthropologist, and as a Buddhist teacher. Over many decades, she has also collaborated with neuroscientists, clinicians, and psychologists to understand how contemplative practice can be a vehicle for social transformation. Through her unusual background, she developed an understanding of how our greatest challenges can become the most valuable source of our wisdom―and how we can transform our experience of suffering into the power of compassion for the benefit of others.  Joan's new book can be found on Amazon or wherever books are sold.

Interviewed by Dacher Keltner Zen Roshi (teacher) and anthropologist Joan Halifax ventures to answer the enduring question: How do we live well for ourselves and others at the same time?

Ladies! Please join our Be Bold Facebook Group! Today’s conversation is with Roshi Joan Halifax. You might know of Roshi from her work in the Buddhist community. She’s a Zen Buddhist teacher at the Upaya Zen Center in Santa Fe. But she’s also an anthropologist, she’s an ecologist, a civil rights activist, a hospice caregiver and an author. Her most recent book is Standing at the Edge: Finding Freedom Where Fear and Courage Meet. Roshi practices what’s called socially engaged Buddhism. She’s very involved with protecting the rights of others and empowering people. What she’s come to realize is that those living a virtuous life may find a shadow side to what they do. What she means is that even when doing good work, we can go too far, ultimately harming either ourselves or the person or people we’re trying to help. In this conversation, she explains exactly what she means by that. In short, she encourages us to find balance. And this is exactly what her new book entails – how we can see the big picture, how we can have compassion but still stay in balance. It seems to me her book couldn’t have come out at a better time. A time when so many of us are experiencing outrage and despair over what’s going on in the world but we want to be helpful and try to make things better. And as you’ll hear, I personally found some wisdom and comfort in her words and suggestions for how to deal with our current situation. Roshi and I met through a mutual friend, Angel Murdock (whom she refers to in this episode). You can go back and listen to my conversation with Angel on episode 38 to get a bit of background on her work.

Roshi Joan Halifax came to New York City by way of New Orleans in the '60s with a thirst to engage in social justice, protesting "everything related to discrimination," she said, and the Vietnam War. Halifax, whose latest book is called "Standing at the Edge: Finding Freedom Where Fear and Courage Meet," went on to become a Buddhist teacher, Zen priest, anthropologist and a pioneer in the field of end-of-life care who has brought her work into psychiatric programs, penitentiaries and refugee camps.

As leaders, navigating the balance between serving our vision and supporting those who are integral to its success can be a delicate line to walk. When we stand as warriors, with strong backs and open hearts, the seeds of servant leadership are planted. As servant leaders, we create safe, structured containers to bear witness without judgement, allowing for us to build and create meaningful connections. It is in the opening of ourselves to true genuine acts of compassion, that an enhanced sense of resiliency to weather the storms of our lives is nurtured and strengthened. In her second appearance on the Reboot podcast, Roshi Joan Halifax, author of Standing at the Edge: Finding Freedom Where Fear and Courage Meet, works with Jerry to unravel the power of edge states, the importance of taking a compassionate stance in leadership, and how the suppleness that stems from compassion leads to enhanced resiliency and true freedom.
