Podcasts about Dalai Lama

What if the very thing that gives your life meaning is also what's burning you out? That's the paradox. Leah Weiss found herself in teaching compassionate leadership at Stanford. Working with organizations inspired by the Dalai Lama. Doing the kind of work most of us dream of. And yet she was falling apart. In today's conversation, we unpacked the silent erosion of self that can happen even when everything looks right on the outside. Leah shares how burnout crept in under the guise of purpose, why discernment can't be done alone, and how the small act of knitting helped her find her way back to herself. This episode is a map for anyone wondering is it me? Is it the job or is it the world we're trying to survive in?Key Takeaways:The issue of burnout, particularly in the workplace.Personal experiences and challenges related to burnout.The importance of recognizing signs and symptoms of burnout.The concept of discernment in addressing dissatisfaction.Distinction between burnout and compassion fatigue.The role of community and support in navigating burnout.Factors contributing to burnout at individual, team, and organizational levels.The significance of psychological safety and team dynamics.The search for meaning and alignment of personal values in work.The impact of entrepreneurship on well-being, particularly for women founders.If you enjoyed this conversation with Leah Weiss, check out these other episodes:Embracing Emotions at Work with Liz FosslienHow to Deal with Burnout Through Self-Compassion with Kristin NeffFor full show notes, click here!Connect with the show:Follow us on YouTube: @TheOneYouFeedPodSubscribe on Apple Podcasts or SpotifyFollow us on InstagramThe Tao Te Ching is one of those books I keep coming back to. Ancient wisdom, wrapped in poetry, that somehow feels more relevant every year. Like this line: “If you look to others for happiness, you will never be happy. If your well-being depends on money, you will never be content.“Simple. Clear. Actually useful.I've teamed up with Rebind.ai to create an interactive edition of the Tao—forty essential verses, translated into plain, everyday language, with space to reflect, explore, and ask questions. It's like having a conversation not just with the Tao, but with me too.

If wealth is up, why is happiness down? In this soulful episode of Everyone's Talkin' Money, Shari sits down with educator and award-winning author Jeff Golden to explore one of the biggest contradictions in modern life: we have more money than ever, yet we're more disconnected and unfulfilled. Drawing from his book Reclaiming the Sacred, Jeff shares how we've been conditioned to chase the wrong things—and how to realign with what truly matters. You'll hear: Why money only accounts for 2–4% of happiness What really drives our well-being (and it's not what you think) How our culture of consumption is numbing us, not fulfilling us What “enough” actually looks like—and how to know when you've reached it Why micro-actions are more powerful than big life overhauls How to model a healthier money narrative for your kids (and yourself) Reclaiming the Sacred, Healing Our Relationships with Ourselves and the World was named Best Environmental Book of 2023 by IndieReader, and winner of the Grand Prize at the Nautilus Book Awards (previous winners include the Dalai Lama, Brené Brown, and Barbara Kingsolver).

It is a common refrain these days: we live in a culture of scarcity mindset. We are bombarded with messages of never enough, implicitly and explicitly warned that there is not enough money, time, attention, or even love for all of us. These messages shift us into fearful perspectives, limiting our ability to see and receive all the goodness around us. In a world where so many people are lacking basic survival needs and systems of care, we wrestle with dueling feelings of fear and guilt, aware that "it could be worse," and yet, struggling to feel into the fullness that we sense is right here, if only we could reach out and touch it. So, what is true abundance? And how do we contact it? That's what we're exploring in today's episode.

She hosts the All Things Therapy podcast and authored The Chiron Effect: Healing Our Core Wounds through Astrology, Empathy, and Self-Forgiveness, which was endorsed by the Dalai Lama.The Chiron Effect is a concept developed by Tahir that describes how individuals are drawn to areas of personal wounding. She explains that people often orbit around specific core issues and themes. Tahir uses the astrological placement of the minor planet Chiron in a birth chart as a diagnostic tool to identify these core wounds and unconscious patterns. Understanding this can help individuals develop self-empathy and practice self-forgiveness.Tahir emphasizes that an "orbit" represents a habitual pattern, and changing this orbit can change an individual's "frequency."

Author of best selling 'Practical Kabbalah' (Random House) available on Amazon.Rabbi's Wolf's work has been lauded by spiritual leaders including Rabbi Lord Sir Jonathan Sacks OBM, the Dalai Lama, and Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu OBM, the Chief Rabbi of Israel from whom Rabbi Wolf received his Rabbinical ordination.

In Episode 146 of THE POWER OF RE:INVENTION, I connect with global changemaker, nonprofit leader, and author Neil Ghosh to explore a kind of meaningful Reinvention that's rooted in empathy, reflection and intentional impact.Neil opens up about his personal journey—from childhood dreams of becoming a doctor to building a purpose-driven career across government, business and global philanthropy. His encounters with the Dalai Lama, President Clinton and others have influenced him along the way.  We explore the pivots, pauses, and personal revelations that shaped his path, and how choosing to do good—on any scale—requires both courage and consistency.This conversation also explores the ideas behind Neil's upcoming book, Do More Good, which gathers life lessons and stories from extraordinary individuals he's encountered throughout his journey. His message is clear: making a difference doesn't have to be overwhelming. It can start small, and it can start now.Together, we unpack what it means to lead with empathy, how to stay grounded in a noisy world, and why Reinvention often begins not with a plan, but with one intentional act.Key Takeaways:Reinvention starts with reflection. The most powerful changes often come from quiet personal insight.Small, intentional acts can ripple outward. Doing good doesn't require a platform—just presence.Mentorship is a form of legacy. Giving your time and attention can change someone's direction—and yours.Empathy is a practice, not a trait. Especially in divided times, it becomes an anchor for impact.Purpose and sustainability can coexist. Nonprofit work doesn't mean sacrificing structure or strategy.Connect with Neil Official Site: www.neilghosh.orgNeil's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/neilghosh1/Get your copy of his book Do More Good on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Do-More-Good-Inspiring-Extraordinary/dp/B0DJZFG75ZAmazing Huffington Post Article by Neil from Over 9 Years Ago!

In activism you stand up because you care and you love, and then you bring your best to it.” – Jack KornfieldIn this episode, Jack and Ocean mindfully explore:Activism and creating positive change in the worldHow to save the world without losing yourselfActing beautifully without attachment to the fruitsHow not not to let the immense suffering of the world get to usWes Nisker, Gary Snyder, and saving the world because you love itActing in this world with peace, love, courage, and nobilityHonoring our emotions, grief, and fears, but not letting them control usBecoming what you want the world to beHis Holiness the Dalai Lama and meeting our lives with honesty and joyFighting for freedom and justice, but having fun doing itMaking activism fun, joyful, and beautifulEmphasizing the positives acts in the worldLife changing wisdom from the BuddhaHolding it all in the great heart of compassionAdding your voice, love, energy, and compassionIf your grief is big, hold it from something biggerThis episode was originally recorded for the Food Revolution Network in November of 2024. Discover Your Buddha Nature with Jack Kornfield, an online journey for reclaiming our dignity, compassion, and generosity, beginning June 2.“It says in the Bhagavad Gita, the essence is to act beautifully without attachment to the fruits of the actions. What it means is, you don't get to determine how it turns out, but you do get to plant your seeds of goodness. And as Thoreau says, ‘Convince me you have a seed there, and I'm prepared to expect miracles.' You get to plant the seeds, and eventually, in their own time, they bear fruit. That's not your job. Your job is to make a beautiful garden, to plant beautiful things, and to tend them.” – Jack KornfieldAbout Ocean Robbins:Ocean Robbins is an American entrepreneur and author, best known for his role as the co-founder of Food Revolution Network, Inc.

Our heart has to be big enough and our dignity strong enough that we're willing to see it.

Nach tibetischer Auffassung verkörpert der Dalai Lama den Bodhisattva des großen Mitgefühls, wobei »Dalai« großer Ozean bedeutet als Symbol dieses grenzenlosen Feldes. Denn wie sämtliche Lebewesen der Erde dem Wasser entstiegen sind, so bestehen sie auch überwiegend aus Wasser. Unsere Freunde sowie unsere Umgebung sind also wunderbare Wassergefäße. Darauf und auf unseren Umgang mit diesem kostbaren Gut beziehen sich Christoph Rei Ho Hatlapa in diesem Teisho wie auch Ummon in Beispiel 57 des Shūmon Kattōshū, als ein Mönch ihn fragt: »Was ist das für ein Ort, wo alle Buddhas völlige Befreiung erlangen?« Ummon erwidert: »Der Ostberg läuft auf dem Wasser.« Anmerkung: Die Aufzeichnung des Vortrags endet mit dem Beginn der nachfolgenden Laienordination.

What does it mean to inhabit a world that's alive with deities, which might be less like gods than enlightened aspects of the mind? How could that influence how we relate to ourselves, to each other and to our surroundings?Yeshe Palmo has practised tantric Buddhism for roughly four decades, inspired by an empowerment from the Dalai Lama in 1985. Her teacher was Thrangu Rinpoche and in recent years she's worked with Mingyur Rinpoche's Awareness Yoga – on which more here, along with a video of Yeshe in action.Our conversation explores her experience from multiple angles, including what inspired her to become a Buddhist nun. We also talk about her M.A. research on how postural yoga can help Western Buddhists before long retreats, and reflect on whether monasteries are necessary to pass on traditions.Above all, we consider what it means to have a sacred view, and how deities and nature spirits might be helpful in practice – despite potential objections from the rational mind. This episode expands on some themes from the last one (which is archived here), but there's no need to hear them in order.

Really Interesting WomenThe podcastEp. 150 Kath KoschelTo celebrate episode 150, it's appropriate that it's with one of the most extraordinary tales I've heard on this show.Kath Koschel's life is a powerful narrative of overcoming unimaginable odds through resilience, gratitude, and a profound belief in the transformative power of kindness.  From the initial excitement of starting to realise her representative cricket dreams to devastating career ending injuries and devastating heartbreaking personal loss, Kath has, somehow consistently chosen to find strength in adversity and to channel her experiences into creating a global movement for good...and I imagine the global impact of her story would have resonated even more with my guest when, in 2018, she delivered the opening speech in a conference in Los Angeles to a packed audience that included the Obamas, the Dalai Lama, and Reese Witherspoon (whose production company has more than a passing interest in Kath's story). Head to the link in my bio to listen to our conversation.  And thank you all for your support for this little show to help it reach 150 episodes!Visit instagram @reallyinterestingwomen for further interviews and posts of interesting women in history.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 742 Is your fear of suffering keeping you from discovering the deepest treasures of your soul? Author and extreme adventurer, Akshay Nanavati, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 742, to share how embracing suffering during his 60-day solo crossing of Antarctica became the key to transcending limitations and unlocking pure potential, what his journey taught him about the paradox of oneness, and why the only way out of suffering is through it. "When you stop resisting suffering, it frees you from the grasp of suffering. It's not the suffering in and of itself that I seek. Suffering is the means, not the purpose. The purpose is what it gives you access to. It's the transcendence, the awakening, the breaking down of the illusions, the surrender." - Akshay Nanavati In This Episode, Akshay Nanavati Uncovers: [01:10] 60 Days Alone in Antarctica Akshay Nanavati 606 Akshay Nanavati | How To Love Your Fear: The (REAL) Secret To Unlocking Your Pure Potential How the world shows you more about the human soul than any textbook.

How suffering is the means to transcendence. Why pain connects us to God. How Akshay accepts what is instead of resisting suffering. Why comfort is not the enemy. [26:45] Pure Experience Why reality is not "either, or." How labels create divisions and limitations. Why words can open the door for us, but can't provide the same value as experience.

How his body started falling apart in the last 10 days of the polar crossing. Why Antarctica is a mirror to the human soul.

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl Why having a conversation with Viktor Frankl helped Akshay understand suffering. 538 John Wineland | A New Masculine Paradigm: Leading With Love, Living Your Truth + Healing The World How distance showed Akshay how supportive his wife is. Why separation makes us feel more connected. [54:15] Accept The Isness Why we're stabbed with two darts of suffering, according to Buddha. How bringing conscious awareness to our self-dialogue can help us change it. Why all unnecessary suffering is the resistance to accepting the isness. How embracing the edge of you makes life more joyful. [59:00] Feel It All Why we need to respect the mystery of God. How Akshay saw value in the delusion he was experiencing during the expedition. Why we shouldn't rob our children of their lessons. How Indian parents tend to over-spoil their kids. Why having our kids experience the full range of emotions builds their resilience. The only way out of the suffering is through it. [01:06:30] The Power of Language How soft talk disempowers us. What led Akshay to become more conscious of his language.

Fearvana Instagram Why fear and nirvana are not opposite but complementary. Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi How finding beauty in suffering makes life more joyful. [01:43:15] Fear of Other People's Opinion Why Akshay doesn't feel directly affected by Indian culture. How he feared what people would think if he didn't make it through the expedition. Why other people's lens of reality doesn't change who we are. How Akshay only took a day off from walking Antarctica on day 50. [01:47:30] Your Beliefs Hold You Hostage Why Josh wasn't able to start the podcast for 4 years because of his childhood conditioning. Inside Out (2015) Why all paths are a crossroad.

If you've ever felt like joy is just out of reach, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew—revealing how meaningful effort, not ease, might be the key to lasting fulfillment.In today's episode, I'm joined by Janet Ettele, a novelist, meditation practitioner, and devoted student of Buddhist philosophy whose mission is to bring timeless spiritual teachings to life through accessible, story-driven fiction. She is the author of a four-book series inspired by the six perfections of Buddhism, with her latest release, How Joyous Effort Works: The Energy to Benefit Others, featuring a foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Janet's writing blends insight and emotional depth, drawing from her background as a trained musician and Berklee College of Music graduate to create prose that is both lyrical and grounded. Her journey into Buddhism began at a Tibetan monastery just five miles from her home in Connecticut, where she continues to live, write, and teach with quiet dedication.Throughout this episode, Janet brings these influences to life, offering a grounded yet inspiring perspective on joy, effort, and spiritual growth. She shares how the teachings of Shantideva and her connection with Tibetan monks shaped both her personal evolution and the character arc of Troy, the protagonist of her series. Their parallel journeys reveal how challenges can become turning points when met with mindfulness and compassion. Janet's reflections on meditation, silence, and intentional action illustrate how spiritual practice translates into everyday life. With warmth and clarity, she reminds us that lasting joy doesn't come from striving for perfection, but from showing up—consistently, consciously, and with an open heart.Tune in to episode 210 of Joy Found Here as Janet Ettele shares how Buddhist wisdom, storytelling, and intentional effort can lead to inner peace and purposeful living.

Peggy Fletcher Stack highlights her biggest interviews, significant moments, and enduring themes of her three decades covering religion. Peggy's career at the Salt Lake Tribune has intersected with pivotal historical events and figures. She covered sensitive issues like Catholic abuse and the aftermath of 9/11, immediately being assigned to interview Utah Muslims. She shared a moving story of a young Muslim boy named Osama who faced bullying after 9/11 but later reclaimed his name and faith. https://youtu.be/shlJFq8BV2s Biggest Interviews Covering the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City brought another highlight: interviewing Archbishop Desmond Tutu about forgiveness, an encounter she described as a truly memorable moment despite the initial challenge of getting her story into print. She also had the unique opportunity to spend four days covering the Dalai Lama's visit, with press access to every event. Reporting on leadership transitions within the LDS Church also marked her career. She wrote President Ezra Taft Benson's obituary but never interviewed him as he wasn't publicly visible in his last years. She covered President Howard Hunter's trip to Nauvoo, noting his warmth and the public's desire for physical connection after Benson's absence. The advent of President Gordon B. Hinckley brought a shift; at his first press conference, he stood the entire time and took questions, a departure from past practice. Peggy recalled her own encounter, where President Hinckley showed familiarity with her and her family before she proceeded to ask numerous questions. Notably, she covered President Hinckley's historic 1998 trip to sub-Saharan Africa, the first time an LDS prophet had visited the region. Traveling separately from his group, she managed to secure an interview with him in Zimbabwe, where he famously commented on fighting adulation. This Africa trip stands out as a definitive highlight of her career. Reflecting on her coverage, Peggy connected her most frequent topics to Apostle Boyd K. Packer's 1993 speech identifying feminists, gays, and intellectuals as enemies of the church. She realized these areas – which she terms "pressure points" or "conflicts" – have been the focus of her reporting because journalists cover "planes that crash," not "planes that land on time." This includes covering the September Six excommunications (intellectuals)10, the ongoing evolution of women's issues and gender dynamics (feminism), and the persistently "hot" topic of LGBTQ issues. What about the Women? Peggy also recounted another one of her biggest interviews involving a memorable interaction with President Russell M. Nelson in 2018, where she asked about increasing diversity in church leadership. His initial, somewhat awkward, response focused on knowing her family. He finally answered about international leaders, but he didn't address female leadership, leading her to press him to address the specific question about women: She asked loudly, "What about the women?" She viewed this moment, captured on live TV, as a strange intersection of the personal and professional that ironically benefited her standing with critics from different perspectives. What are your thoughts about Peggy's coverage of the LDS Church specifically? Do you think she is biased one way or the other? Do you listen to Mormon land and/or subscribe to the Salt Lake Tribune?

So what's in a name. When it comes to the papacy, almost everything.The name a new pope chooses can reveal a lot about his thinking and plans for the Catholic church.DAN HITCHENS recognised the significance of the name as soon as he heard it announced from the balcony of St Peter's Basilica.A Pope Leo XIV will be inaugurated this weekend with a special Mass, but he's already noticed a huge in-tray on his desk at the Vatican. What will he prioritise? Dr MILES PATTENDEN has some ideas.In a new book, Voice For The Voiceless, the Dalai Lama reveals that his reincarnated successor could be born in what he calls “the free world”.It would break with centuries of tradition – and raise the stakes in the dispute with China over control of the Himalayan region that the Dalai Lama fled in 1959.It also raises the intriguing prospect of the next Dalai Lama being found in Australia.GUESTS:Dr MILES PATTENDEN is a papal historian and commentator at Oxford University. DAN HITCHENS is a senior editor at First Things and a columnist at Compact magazines.DR ZOE BEDFORD is the Executive officer from The Australia Tibet Council.

In April, a new book by the 14th Dalai Lama was published called “Voice For The Voiceless: Over Seven decades of struggle with China for my land and my people”.The Dalai Lama reveals that his reincarnated successor could be born in what he calls “the free world”.It would break with centuries of tradition – and raise the stakes in the dispute with China over control of the Himalayan region that the Dalai Lama fled in 1959.It also raises the intriguing prospect of the next Dalai Lama being found in Australia.Dr Zoe Bedford is the Executive officer from The Australia Tibet Council.

What is the difference between happiness and joy, and how can we experience greater contentment, even when life doesn't go as planned? In this episode, I explore the Buddhist perspectives and modern insights that reveal happiness as a fleeting emotional state, while joy represents a deeper, more enduring form of well-being. Drawing inspiration from “The Book of Joy” by the Dalai Lama, “Happiness” by Matthieu Ricard, and “The Let Them Theory” by Mel Robbins, I discuss practical exercises and teachings that help us cultivate a more resilient, compassionate, and flexible approach to life's inevitable ups and downs. Join me as we learn to hold space for joy in every moment, beyond mere happiness. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"Buddhism is not a belief system. It's not about accepting certain tenets or believing a set of claims or principles. In fact, it's quite the opposite. It's about examining the world clearly and carefully, about testing everything and every idea. Buddhism is about seeing. It's about knowing rather than believing or hoping or wishing. It's also about not being afraid to examine anything and everything, including our own personal agendas . . . The message is always to examine and see for yourself. When you see for yourself what is true—and that's really the only way that you can genuinely know anything—then embrace it. Until then, just suspend judgment and criticism. The point of Buddhism is to just see. That's all . . . An ordinary person is simply one who is not awake in the moment; a buddha is a person who is. That's all." —Steve Hagan, author of Buddhism Plain and Simple: The practice of Being Aware, Right Now, Every Day To be fully human and see the humanity in all others. To have compassion for all sentient beings, understanding that they too experience all of the senses and are capable of emotions. This way of walking through life, engaging with it subtly, yet powerfully, infusing both our daily life and others, with the ability to be and express our full and most capable selves, is to live with awareness. To see and engage fully without expectation or harm. For example, one of the ladybird's gifts is their appetite for many pests in the garden, effectively being a natural pest deterrent; the talent of bees is to disperse pollen which plays a crucial role in the entire food production chain; and as we consider any human on earth throughout history who gives of their talents that further contributed positively to the world. These brave and determined souls, without each one, the world would not be as we know it today. When we celebrate the humanity of one another, we set each other free to discover the treasures we each uniquely have within us. Then it is each individual's job, at times daunting, but most primarily exhilarating, to share with the world what we have realized is our dharma - what we can uniquely share with the world that also energizes us while we engage in the giving. There is much confusion about what Buddhism is, and unlike what many Google searches will retrieve when we try to figure it out, it is not a religion. The Dalai Lama himself states it most directly, “Buddhist teachings are not a religion, they are a science of the mind.” In other words, it is an approach to understanding our own mind, NOT being told what to think nor HOW to live concretely. Rather the concepts of Mindfulness, Awareness, Compassion, Appreciation and Courage are many of the fundamental skills, which are also the core concepts of cultivating a life of contentment, a simply luxurious life. Tune in to discover more about how Buddhist psychology cultivates an everyday life of contentment.   Find the Show Notes on The Simply Luxurious Life blog - https://thesimplyluxuriouslife.com/podcast403

Academy Award-winning vegan filmmaker and former National Geographic photographer Louie Psihoyos joins us to share how he is using the power of storytelling to spark transformation for animal rights, human health, and environmental conservation. Highlights include: How The Cove, his Oscar-wining documentary and the first documentary to sweep all the film guilds, inspired activism that helped reduce dolphin and porpoise slaughter in Japan by over 90%; How his team's audacious projection events of endangered species on iconic buildings including The Empire State Building, The United Nations and The Vatican for their film Racing Extinction, received over 5.4 billion media views and led to laws that protect some of Earth's most endangered animals; How his third film, The Game Changers, a film about plant-based super athletes that exposes the myth that meat is necessary for protein, strength, and optimal health, triggered a 350% spike in online searches within a month of premiering on Netflix; What his Netflix Series, You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment, uncovered about the 8-week health benefits of plant-based eating, and how the results went viral; His most recent film Mission: Joy a buddy film starring his Holiness, The Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu about how to find joy in a world of sorrow has been seen by 10's of millions of people around the globe; Where Louie's focus is turning next: a new film exposing the destructive health impacts of plastic.

The podcast explores needed narrative, behavioral, and system shifts for recreating human life in balance with all life on Earth. With expert guests from wide-ranging disciplines, we examine the forces underlying overshoot: from patriarchal pronatalism that is fueling overpopulation, to growth-biased economic systems that lead to consumerism and social injustice, to the dominant worldview of human supremacy that subjugates animals and nature. Our vision of shrinking toward abundance inspires us to seek pathways of transformation that go beyond technological fixes toward a new humanity that honors our interconnectedness with all beings.  Hosted by Nandita Bajaj and Alan Ware.
