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.

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.

More friendship, more bullshit, more boredom, more bashing technology. We talk about the joys of sobriety, how to anchor your life to force development and we bad mouth the Dalai Lama. We imagine what it would be like if someone presented us with a surprise pizza. We discuss some self help nonsense and a stupid man talks about biohacking but doesn't think people know what a vagina is. Plus, YOU don't know what a good time feels like!Nothing to do with this episode but go suck a caribou's ass.

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 

Dieser Podcast wurde 2020 zum ersten Mal veröffentlicht. In der Regel verbindet man mit Buddhismus eher Zuwendung und Gelassenheit, keinesfalls Indoktrination oder gar “spirituelle Hinrichtung”. Der buddhistische Mönch Tenzin Peljor hat jahrelang in einer buddhistischen Sekte gelebt und gelitten und warnt heute vor sektiererischen Tendenzen im Buddhismus. Im Gespräch mit ihm und Religionspsychologen Dr. Utsch erfährt Berni Mayer, wo auch Gefahr in dieser “Lifestylereligion” liegen kann, inwiefern er selbst naiv war und warum der Dalai Lama zu den Guten gehört.

 The Non-violence or Ahimsa was first introduced from the Hindu-Religion.Ahimsa or non-violence was created for the Braman (Priest) and Sannyasins (Monks) to live a peaceful life in a remote resort. That makes sense.Afterward, Buddhism, Jainism, and Christians had the fatal idea to integrate Ahimsa for everybody in their Religion… And this was one of the biggest mistakes that Religions have ever done!! If we look at the history of India and Tibet:In the 3rd Century B. C “Ashoka The Great” made Buddhism the state Religion of India. In the sixth century A. C., the Huns invaded India and destroyed  Buddhist monasteries. Afterward, the Muslims in the 12th century overtook India… The very downfall for India was Buddhism.What happens to Tibet? The same, conquered and destroyed from China… Do we need more evidence?If somebody or a country stick to Ahimsa, they rather more invite offenders or an invasion… The other Buddhist countries didn't practice Ahimsa and could defend themselves.Even so, the Buddhists are not vegetarian, and that is a contradiction to Ahimsa. The Christian countries made and make wars after wars and killed so many people even in the name of their Christian God that it is hard to believe in their scriptures (Bible). I can't believe in any scriptures when the rules are broken from the Religions Leaders!The worst was the witch-hunt that torched millions of innocent women in the name of the Christian God! If we compare both Religions with the Hindu scripture, we must admit that the Hindu Religion is well designed.Killing or harming of people are not allowed for the Priests (Brahman) and Monks (Sannyasin). Threatening without fighting is allowed to defend themselves. The Warriors (Kashitras) should be the ruler, Civil servants, and soldiers of the country.For the Hindus, it is impossible that a Brahman should rule the country. Because a Brahman has to be peacefully when their country is attacked. For Instance, the Dalai Lama or any Bishop would be inadequate to rule a country… Because their Darma is to be peacefully in any situation and this will never work out for any country. We can also learn from the Hindu scripture that punishment is necessary as it is to live a high morality as the leader. When the leader is immoral the subordinates will become unethical over time.We need punishment to teach people to become better… The Hindu system recommends the punishment should go in steps harder when the delinquent doesn't obey…For instance, your kid is beating up your other siblings.1.) In a friendly voice, you explain that this is not good and that he should not attack other kids.2.) In an unfriendly voice, you remind him what you have said before.3.) In an angry voice, you repeat what you said.4.) You threaten your kid that he will not get any pocket money if he continues.5.) You threaten your kid to hit him when he is doing it one time again.6.) You hit your nasty child…Non-violence (ahimsa) would not work out to educate a nasty child/delinquent…   My Video: Why does non-violence not work? https://youtu.be/lZbCiKk17iYMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.B/Why-does-non-violence-not-work.mp3

In this edition, we welcome renowned Buddhist scholar and teacher, Thupten Jinpa, Ph.D., as he answers audience questions following a recent talk at the Sacred Stream. An excerpt from this compelling conversation can be heard in Episode 125: Thupten Jinpa: Part 1: Making Friends with our Minds. In this thoughtful Q&A session, Jinpa shares deep insights on parenting, cultivating compassion amidst adversity, navigating difficult emotions, and facing death with clarity and courage. Drawing on decades of experience, he also recounts a powerful and personal story of his childhood escape from Tibet and the hardships he faced growing up in exile in India. Since 1985, Jinpa has served as the principal English translator for His Holiness the Dalai Lama, translating and editing more than ten of the Dalai Lama's books, along with several acclaimed works of his own. He is the Board Chair of the Mind & Life Institute, founder and president of the Compassion Institute, and a visiting research scholar at the Stanford Institute for Neuro-Innovation and Translational Neurosciences.

“We must never forget that nations and countries belong to their people, not to their governments. No matter how enduring or powerful they might seem at any given time, governments will come and go, but the people will always remain.” The Dalai Lama

Einzig an der Uni Bern kann Tibetisch studiert werden. Ab Herbst werden die Kurse aufgegeben. Für Tibeterinnen und Tibeter in der Schweiz ist dieser Entscheid der Uni nicht nachvollziehbar und für «Perspektiven» Anlass zu fragen, wie es um die tibetische Kultur in der Schweiz und im Ausland steht. Tenzin Yundung gehört zur dritten Generation Tibeterinnen und Tibetern, die seit den 1960ern in der Schweiz leben. Derzeit schliesst die junge Frau an der Uni Bern ihren Master in Zentralasiatischer Kulturwissenschaft ab. Dazu gehören auch Sprachkurse in Mongolisch oder Tibetisch. «Dank diesen Kursen habe ich einen neuen Zugang zu meinen Grosseltern bekommen, weil wir über buddhistische Texte sprechen konnten», erzählt sie. Ihre Familie ist praktizierend und so spielen Texte in klassischem Tibetisch eine wichtige Rolle. Dass die Uni Bern das Studienfach Zentralasiatische Kulturwissenschaft abschafft, begründet sie mit sinkendem Interesse und geringen Studierendenzahlen. «Sprachausbildung ist durchaus ein Beitrag an eine Kultur. Aber die Universität Bern hat keinen spezifischen Auftrag dazu», sagt Christoph Pappa, Generalsekretär der Universität Bern. In der schweizerisch-tibetischen Community sorgt das für Unmut. Verschiedene Vereine haben zusammen einen offenen Brief geschrieben, in dem sie fordern, den Entscheid zu überdenken. Sie sieht die Buddhismusforschung ebenso wie die tibetische Kultur im Exil unter Druck und das in einer Zeit, in der China mit Repressionen in Tibet wieder vermehrt in den Schlagzeilen steht: Etwa mit Internaten, in denen tibetische Kinder zwar eine gute Schulbildung bekommen, aber nur noch Chinesisch sprechen und Aufsätze über den Dalai Lama als Separatisten schreiben müssen. SRF-Radiokorrespondent Samuel Emch ordnet ein. In der Sendung kommen zu Wort: · Tenzin Yundung, Masterstudentin Zentralasiatische Kulturwissenschaft · Jampa Samdho, bis vor kurzem Co-Präsident Gesellschaft Schweizerisch-Tibetische Freundschaft und ehemaliger Parlamentarier der tibetischen Exilregierung · Christoph Pappa, Generalsekretär der Universität Bern · Ariane Knüsel, Historikerin und Sinologin · Samuel Emch, SRF-Radiokorrespondent in China Dies ist eine Wiederholung der Sendung «Perspektiven» vom Mittwoch, 30. April 2025.

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. See episode website for show notes, links, and transcript:  https://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/louie-psihoyos   OVERSHOOT | Shrink Toward Abundance OVERSHOOT tackles today's interlocked social and ecological crises driven by humanity's excessive population and consumption. 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.

In conversation with Buddhist nun, scholar, and activist Ven. Karma Lekshe Tsomo, tracing her remarkable arc from surfing in 1950s Malibu to ordination under the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. On hitchhiking through Southeast Asia, surf contests in 1960s Japan, Zen and copying the Heart Sutra. On women's traditions within Buddhist orders, surfing as meditation. On Vipassana, near fatal snake bites, to living with 348 percepts. On navigating the importance of ethics, on consciousness, a critique of secular mindfulness commodification. The importance of debate within Buddhism. On being kind, on Dharamsala, on grief and death, on supernormal powers, advice for finding a teacher, on comparative philosophy, on the current discourse revolving the struggle for Tibet. On the Holiness the Dalai Lama, on perseverance, on the listening to birds, on the current moment. On insight, on death, on the importance of ultimately living for others.Excerpts On SurfingI found surfing quite spiritual because, you're alone out in the ocean. It's quiet. You get a totally different perspective on life because you're not one of the little ants running around. You've got a sort of meta view of human society, which is, quite instructive.On Peace and LoveI'm still trying to figure that out. Especially in the current climate. How do you account for that? It seemed to me that peace and love were the answer and that everyone. If everyone were full of peace and love, then we would have a happy world. And so why? And then, of course, Buddhism was very helpful because it pointed out that it's our self cherishing, it's our obsession with our ourself that messes everything up. People are struggling, clawing and scraping to get their own advantage. And of course, that interferes with all their relationships and destroys their personal happiness. And very few people really figure it out.On FreedomAnd when one of the monks cut my hair, it was the most freeing experience of my life. I saw my hair drop into my lap and I thought, whoa, free at last.On the Dangers of Mindfulness without EthicsYou can kill someone very mindfully. You can rob a bank very mindfully. If you don't have any ethical foundations for your mindfulness practice, it can go all wrong.On ActionBelief is cheap. You can say anything you want and even some of the greatest religious leaders have had doubts apparently, including up to and including Mother Teresa. But how do we live our lives? That's the important thing. How do we try to create happiness for ourselves and others?How do we avoid harming ourselves and others? These are the questions that Buddhism takes up.On Supernormal Powers and Ethical ConductSuper normal powers are no surprise if we train our minds well. Our minds are capable of so much more than we credit them for.These are not the aim of Buddhist practice, but they are, there are many records legends and also texts that document attainments. The descriptions of supernormal powers occur in the very earliest strata.On RealityWe take things to exist as they appear, but we all know that's false.It's an illusion, this desk, it looks so solid. One match it's history, right? It's toast. So the Buddhists are very good at questioning the question, things like appearance and reality.On AwarenessConsciousness is a string of conscious moments, from the moment of conception, it's only one moment back to the last moment of our previous lifetime. If we meditate we can track it back. Every moment is precious. Listen to the birds - remember that human life is impermanent. That our time on this precious planet is limited. That every moment is precious and we should do, try to make the most not waste even a moment. We can gain insight, awakening in this present moment.

Monica shared her experiences of feeling different since childhood, her early interest in spirituality, and her decision to leave her comfortable life in Paris to pursue a path of wisdom and compassion. She described her experiences with Tibetan Lamas and the Dalai Lama, which resonated with her and changed her life. Mònica discusses the concept of wisdom, distinguishing it from intelligence and emphasizing its ethical and moral nature. She explains that wisdom is aligned with the greater good and uses the metaphor of an architect (wisdom) and a carpenter (intelligence) to illustrate the difference. Mònica then introduces her book's concept of seven levels of wisdom, describing the first three levels: conformist, expert, and achiever. She notes that society often views the achiever level as the pinnacle, but in her framework, it is only the third of seven levels. She discussed the importance of self-transcendence and the journey towards becoming the best version of oneself. She emphasized the need to question societal norms and become more independent, resilient, and self-actualized. Mónica also highlighted the importance of accepting others as they are, regardless of their behavior and finding peace in the present moment. She suggested that this level of acceptance allows one to see the perfection in everything and live in peace. Dr. added that this unconditional acceptance and love can transform one's life and lead to mental and emotional well-being. Mónica emphasized the importance of personal interpretation and emotional control in shaping one's life experience. She argued that individuals should not be victims of their conditioning or programming but rather empowered by their thoughts and emotions. Dr. agreed, suggesting the need for daily practices to maintain equanimity and fulfillment. Mónica proposed being cautious of the media and technology, and practicing meditation or contemplation to connect with one's inner self. In the meeting, Monica emphasized the importance of introspection, reflection, and presence in daily life. She stressed the need to focus on the present moment rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. Monica also highlighted the significance of having a strong moral and ethical compass, as it determines one's future and ensures a positive outcome. Dr. added that living with integrity and making choices based on the present moment can lead to fulfillment and pride in one's actions.   Remember to Subscribe, Listen, Review, and Share!

Many of the most prominent social activists in the last half century or so have also been contemplatives: Howard Thurman, the Dalai Lama, and Thomas Merton among others. Does the sort of spirituality we talk about here have things to offer in a world like ours where people feel daily outrages flowing through their media feeds? Might our practices actually be negative--in that moving past constant reactivity might make us too passive? But surely constant outrage mostly leads to hopelessness (and unpleasant days). Dave Schmelzer is joined by Grace Schmelzer and Steve Joh (a former pastor who currently leads a network of small, spacious, spiritual, Christian communities in the Bay Area) for a lively conversation about all of this, including a look at the most commonly discussed spiritual approach to addressing such times.Mentioned on this podcast:Register your interest in the next Faith Part 2 course here.Arbor communities in the Bay AreaThe Book of Forgiving: The Fourfold Path for Healing Ourselves and Our World, by Desmond Tutu and Mpho Tutu

In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Joe Boot and Dr. Michael Thiessen delve into Buddhism's surprising influence on Western thought. They discuss the core teachings of Buddhism, its impact on Western minds through figures like Sam Harris and the Dalai Lama, and why Buddhism's philosophy offers little more than a self-salvation death cult. The conversation contrasts Buddhist detachment with Christian transformation and looks at how Christians can respond to and understand these cross-cultural influences. The episode also explores the global sociopolitical implications of popular Buddhist teachings and highlights the superiority of a Christian worldview rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Since publishing his debut essay collection—Video Night in Kathmandu, featuring far-flung reportage from 10 Asian countries—in 1988, the prolific travel writer Pico Iyer has gone on to write more than a dozen books exploring themes ranging from displacement and identity to globalization and technology, as well as contribute to publications such as The New York Times, Time, and Condé Nast Traveler. Over the years, Iyer's travels have taken him to some of the world's most remote destinations—North Korea, Bhutan, and Iceland, to name a few—but it's his hundred-plus visits to a Benedictine hermitage in Big Sur, California, that form the heart of his latest book, Aflame: Learning From Silence. Connecting with his inner stillness during these various sojourns in solitude has left him wholly transformed, opening him up to discover the thrumming, ineffable joy of being truly awake to the world and wonderfully alive. On this episode of Time Sensitive, Iyer explores the purpose and joy of travel, and shares deeply moving reflections about what he finds most essential in life.Special thanks to our Season 11 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Pico Iyer[4:25] “Aflame”[4:25] “Autumn Light”[4:25] Philip Larkin[4:25] “The Art of Poetry No. 30”[7:18] Bashō[7:18] Leonard Cohen[10:21] New Camaldoli Hermitage[10:21] Post Ranch Inn [16:25] “Postmodern Tourism: A Conversation with Pico Iyer”[17:08] “The Eloquent Sounds of Silence”[21:48] “The Joy of Quiet”[31:42] “What Ping-Pong Taught Me About Life”[33:14] “Walden”[37:28] “The Open Road”[41:37] “Video Night in Kathmandu”[41:37] “The Lady and the Monk”[41:37] “Lonely Places”[41:37] The Global Soul[44:40] “In the Realm of Jet Lag”[52:35] “Culture: The Leading Hotels of the World”[55:17] Potala Palace[55:17] Naoshima, Japan[55:17] Teshima, Japan[55:17] Narita, Japan[01:00:43] “The Half Known Life”[01:10:10] “No Time”
