Luke Bhencke -Gurdjieff´s Christianity - The Fourth Way's Prehistoric Teachings of Christ, avaliable NOW at Parallax Press:https://www.parallax-media.com/books/gurdjieffschristianityA deep and practical study of Gurdjieff's writings, understood on their own terms, reveals a profound vision. Gurdjieff indicates clearly, and at times staggeringly so, that his ""system"", commonly referred to as the Fourth Way or the Work, is the continuation of Christ's original doctrine that should not be confused with the teachings of modern Christianity that he claims have been irrevocably and inevitably distorted. He emphasizes that this system is part of a broader esoteric lineage that stretches far back into humanity's prehistory and coming together in the incarnation of Jesus Christ. In this context, Gurdjieff reclaims Christianity as a school of inner transformation aimed at awakening the full potential of the human being and restoring the human connection to the divine. The material provided in this book is but a glimpse into that extraordinary vision.Bio: Raised in rural and outback Australia, Luke's background in biomedical science and physical education, with diverse interests in philosophy, religion and art - ultimately drew him to Gurdjieff's system where he has been a practitioner working with groups and individuals from around the world since 2000. Explorations related to Gurdjieff's Fourth Way and Christianity can be found on his blogsite at 'Faith made Flesh'

In the five-plus years of the podcast, I'd say that we have spent a LOT of time on various “hot button” issues - I mean, we live quite squarely in the ones that surround race and identity, wouldn't you say? - but one of the facets of identity that we don't often explore is that of religion. Not because we don't want to talk about it, but a lot of times the opportunity doesn't really present itself. That's why we were so excited to talk to one of the authors of Healing Our Way Home, a new book that addresses white supremacy and identity through the lens of Black Buddhist teachings.  What started out as a series of conversations between three practitioners morphed into a whole book, focusing on self-care and Buddhist teachings with the goal of collective liberation in mind, but in a way that's totally different than what we've seen out there thus far.  Can't wait for you all to listen and learn more.   What to listen for: A brief explanation of the Buddhist history and teachings What it was like knowing Zen Master Thich Nhat Han Three powerful questions we should all be asking ourselves, as we work to remain centered in our own selves while experiencing the world in its current poly-crisis state. About the authors:    KAIRA JEWEL LINGO is a Dharma teacher with a lifelong interest in spirituality and social justice. Her work continues the Engaged Buddhism developed by Thich Nhat Hanh, and she draws inspiration from her parents' lives of service and her dad's work with Martin Luther King, Jr. After living as an ordained nun for 15 years in Thich Nhat Hanh's monastic community, Kaira Jewel now teaches internationally in the Zen lineage and the Vipassana tradition, as well as in secular mindfulness, at the intersection of racial, climate and social justice with a focus on activists, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, artists, educators, families, and youth. Based in New York, she offers spiritual mentoring to groups and is the author of We Were Made for These Times: Ten Lessons in Moving through Change, Loss and Disruption and co-author of the forthcoming, Healing Our Way Home: Black Buddhist Teachings on Ancestors, Joy and Liberation (Feb 2024) from Parallax Press.

GOMEZ is a co-founder of Village of Love and Resistance in Baltimore Maryland, organizing for power, healing, and the reclamation of land.

Welcome to episode 28 of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. In this episode, lay Buddhist practitioner and journalist Jo Confino is joined by Zen Buddhist nun Sister Lang Nghiem, of the Plum Village community, to talk about the role of Buddhist psychology in understanding how our mind works. What is the impact of our survival instincts in today’s world? What are the risks of focusing only on ourselves? And are we really responsible for everything? Sister Chan Lang Nghiem (Adornment with Heroic March) was ordained as a novice nun in 2003, received full ordination as a bhikshuni in 2006, and became a dharma teacher in 2010. Originally from Vietnam, she and her family immigrated to America in 1979. She has lived in Lower Hamlet, France; Deer Park Monastery, California; and Blue Cliff Monastery, New York. With her love of books and of Thay's teachings, she serves on the advisory board of Parallax Press and is happy to see Thay's books appear in schools, hospitals, and prisons, on bedside tables, and even in local coffee shops around the world. Though an amateur at sewing, she can replicate practically anything just by looking at the original product. Many of the robes, jackets, hats, cushions, and mats in Plum Village are lovingly sewn with her mindful energy.In this episode, Sister Lang Nghiem digs deeply into Buddhist psychology and how it can help people lead a better life. She further discusses manas, interbeing, and false boundaries and identities; protective and survival instincts; pleasure seeking and moderation; levels of happiness; avoidance of suffering; individual and collective consciousness; sharing; store and mind consciousness; cultivating peace through consciousness; and new ways to lead peace talks during a war. And: why do we need a self? How that works for us and where it stops helping.  Jo shares about the art of letting go; separation; work environments and happiness; gratitude practices; and the story of an unlikely friendship. The episode ends with a short meditation guided by Sister Lang Nghiem.

Western psychology has one model, and Buddha psychology has one model, but I think we have to remember that they’re all just models. Nothing is absolute.” “Your thoughts continue in the world.” “It’s important to recognize what we identify with and, when it is being challenged, the lengths to which we go to protect it, and the expense, the cost of protecting it, to our own happiness or to the happiness of the organisation, our loved ones, the people around us, other nations around us.” “We always had to protect ourselves from the elements, the dangers. But now, increasingly, we are able to create more and more safe environments in terms of homes, or relationships, alliances and things like that – but that survival instinct, that need to protect and feel that we are being threatened and endangered is still very much alive. So we have to be quite aware of how manas operates, how the survival instinct is operating in us, so that we’re not spending all of our energy just trying to survive and trying to protect ourselves, but to spend more energy trying to recognize what our potential is and what the other person's potential is as well. Spend more time cultivating the things that we would like to cultivate in ourselves and in the other person. More peace, more happiness, more joy and more compassion, rather than spending so much time trying to protect the boundaries that we feel are ‘ourselves' and that need protecting.” “The teaching of interbeing is crucial in helping us to recognize the false boundaries or false identities that we are often stuck with every day. I think we have to train ourselves to see that we’re not separate. My happiness is not separate from your happiness. We can share this cup and I’ll still be happy, for instance. Or there’s so many things that I feel are crucial to my happiness, but I can challenge that a little bit. And what I think is my happiness is not just my own individual happiness; it’s intimately related to your happiness, your safety, your well-being as well.” “It’s very important for us to also recognize our deepest desire. And it’s not just to survive, it’s to be happy, and to ‘download' this message to our stored consciousness. And the stronger awareness we have of our desire, of our deepest desire – our deepest desire is to be happy. Our choices align accordingly.” “We can have more than one truth. We can suffer and we can be happy. And if someone’s suffering, we don’t have to just have to offer them more suffering. We can offer them lightness of being. We can offer them joy, but while also being deeply respectful of the suffering.” “You don’t need to go on a training course, you don’t have to spend money, it doesn’t have to take 10 years of hard work, it’s just a change of perceptions, like putting a different lens in our camera.” “Trying to avoid suffering actually leads to suffering.”

Welcome to episode 28 of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. In this episode, lay Buddhist practitioner and journalist Jo Confino is joined by Zen Buddhist nun Sister Lang Nghiem, of the Plum Village community, to talk about the role of Buddhist psychology in understanding how our mind works. What is the impact of our survival instincts in today’s world? What are the risks of focusing only on ourselves? And are we really responsible for everything? Sister Chan Lang Nghiem (Adornment with Heroic March) was ordained as a novice nun in 2003, received full ordination as a bhikshuni in 2006, and became a dharma teacher in 2010. Originally from Vietnam, she and her family immigrated to America in 1979. She has lived in Lower Hamlet, France; Deer Park Monastery, California; and Blue Cliff Monastery, New York. With her love of books and of Thay's teachings, she serves on the advisory board of Parallax Press and is happy to see Thay's books appear in schools, hospitals, and prisons, on bedside tables, and even in local coffee shops around the world. Though an amateur at sewing, she can replicate practically anything just by looking at the original product.

Thich Nhat Hanh, passed away peacefully at the age of 95 on January 22, he was a spiritual revolutionary who brought Buddhism out of Vietnam and introduced it to the wider world. He is the author of more than 100 books, and wrote extensively about the principles and everyday applications of engaged Buddhism. In the wake of his death, we are reminded of his teachings on mindfulness – a nonjudgemental awareness of all that is happening inside and around us. If we can reconnect with our bodies, we connect with the Earth. We also open ourselves to the joy that is possible in even the most mundane of moments: In order to work towards a more sustainable future, Thay as he is called, which means teacher in Vietnamese, encourages us to reconnect with our Mother Earth. The Arctic or the rainforests can feel rather abstract, and therefore separate. But at a molecular level, we are the Earth. – and it's possible to realize this more deeply: over the course of this special season in reverence to Thich Nhat Hanh, a stunning array of voices from across the globe will be reading from Thay's book “Love Letter to the Earth” coupled with essays, interviews, music and art. It is in invitation to walk, learn and live the deeper conversation with our Mother Earth. Thich Nhat Hanh " Love Letter to the Earth " is graciously permitted by Parallax Press. Parallax Press is a nonprofit publisher founded by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. They publish books and media on the art of mindful living and Engaged Buddhism. And are committed to offering teachings that help transform suffering and injustice. Their aspiration is to contribute to collective insight and awakening, bringing about a more joyful, healthy, and compassionate society. www.parallax.org We also wish to express our deepest gratitude to Plum Village Monastery for their love and dedication in continuing the work of Thich Nhat Hanh.

This moment in our social history compels us to invite ourselves into a path of discovery, learning, and practices to transform our collective racist karma. As a Black man residing in America, Larry Ward says to those who say, “I am not racist” …We are invited to dismantle the systems that perpetuate that profound misperception of what it means to be human. The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. was the catalyst that sparked Larry Ward's journey into a life of planetary peacemaking. He's been subjected to racial profiling and has experienced a bombing in his home in Idaho. He was able to move past these traumas when his path led him to the introduction of Buddhist practice in Calcutta in 1977. When he met Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in 1991, the practice of Buddhism became truly central to his life. He was ordained as a Dharma teacher in Plum Village in 2000 and is the co-founder of the Lotus Institute, which offers Buddhist practice for change makers on the journey of individual and collective liberation.Larry Ward, Ph.D. is the author of America's Racial Karma, And Invitation to Heal (Parallax Press 2020) Interview Date: 7/31/2021  Tags: MP3, Larry Ward, racialized consciousness, karma, karmic wheel, intention, George Floyd, grief, injustice, racism, Social Change/Politics, Buddhism, History

Welcome to The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and creating more happiness and joy in our lives.Meet your hosts, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and lay Buddhist practitioner and journalist Jo Confino, as they introduce themselves and share their aspirations for this series. In this episode, they discuss choosing the title and its meaning, the art of calligraphy, the work of the Plum Village zen monastic community, discovering the practice of mindfulness in the tradition of Plum Village, and their first encounters with Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay). Brother Phap Huu also shares stories from his seventeen-year period as Thay's personal attendant, and glimpses of life in the monastic community. You'll also hear a short history of Thay's early years as a monk in war-torn Vietnam, his travels to other parts of the world, and how he joined forces with civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. to call for global peace, and started “the beloved community.”Phap Huu remembers his first encounter with the mindful art of calligraphy, how the title of the podcast was inspired by a calligraphy, and Thay's fondness for this art. Jo shares his first experience interviewing Thay, an unexpected introduction to mindful walking, how he truly came home to the here and now during his Plum Village visits and retreats, and why he currently resides in the vicinity of the monastery, in the south of France. The discussion also touches upon the ideas behind applied or engaged Buddhism, the interconnection between suffering and happiness, Sangha (community), Samatha, and Vipassana. The episode ends with a guided meditation by Brother Phap Huu.

In this episode of "What Does Poetry Have To Do With Leadership?", JMJ consultants Kathryn Schindler and Kelli Bettenhausen explore "Walking Meditation" by Thich Naht Hanh, a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk, peace activist, and poet Kathryn and Kelli explore what happens when management stops talking and starts listening. It means reversing the flow of communication. Doing a listening tour as a specific act of leadership builds connectenedness with people on the front lines. The poem ‘Walking Meditation’ is from the book 'Call Me By My True Names: The Collected Poems of Thich Nhat Hanh', published by Parallax Press; New Edition (August 9, 2001). If you enjoyed the poem, and wish to purchase the book, ask for a copy wherever fine books are sold.For more episodes and insights head to JMJ.com

I cannot wait for you to listen to today’s episode! This conversation is all about our relationship with money. My guest is Bari Tessler. She is an expert who truly understands the impact that money has on our life.  Bari has spent 18 years guiding thousands of people toward a happier, refreshing and more empowered relationship with money. She is also a somatic psychotherapist and it was when she was working as a therapist and had to teach herself bookkeeping that she realized there was a big gap in education and understanding around money. We talk about Bari’s personal experiences with loss and how she got started as a financial therapist. Bari walks us through the 3 phases of developing a relationship to money and talks specifically about how to approach that relationship during times of big transition and loss.   “In any transition, it’s really helpful to give yourself time and to acknowledge that things are different. Please also remember that it isn’t forever.” ~ Bari Tessler   If you’re like me, money is not your strength and not a skill, this is the episode for you.  I hope you will light a candle, eat some dark chocolate and make your brand new money map!

En cuisine,  Pour un dîner léger, je vous propose une assiette légumière avec des produits de votre jardin.  Vous pouvez voir sur la photo, mon assiette du moment est composée de radis, d'asperges, de ciboulette, de coriandre fraîche, d'aneth, de persil et des premières fraises. Tout est cru. J'ai fait ma cueillette au dernier moment en fin de journée.  Ce mélange de saveurs et d'odeurs inimitables,très différentes, est une explosion pour le palais. Vous obtiendrez ce résultat uniquementen cultivant ces légumes dans votre jardin le plus naturellement possible et en respectant la bio-diversité. Bon appétit  En poésie cette semaine,  Les Roses Le Printemps rayonnant, qui fait rire le jour En montrant son beau front, vermeil comme l’aurore, Naît, tressaille, fleurit, chante, et dans l’air sonore Éveille les divins murmures de l’amour. O Sylphes ingénus, vous voilà de retour! De mille joyaux d’or la forêt se décore, Et blanche, regardant les corolles éclore, Titania folâtre au milieu de sa cour, A travers l’éther pur dont elle fait sa proie, Tandis que la lumière, éclatante de joie, Frissonne dans la bleue immensité des cieux. Beauté qui nous ravis avec tes molles poses, Dis, n’est-ce pas qu’il est doux et délicieux De plonger follement ta bouche dans les roses? Théodore de Banville, Dans la fournaise, 1892 Au jardin, la luneest montante jusqu'au 5 juin, elle est descendante du 6 au 18juin. « Un jardinier doit faire confiance à la terre et savoir que toutes les graines de l'amour et de la compréhension, toutes les graines de l'illumination et du bonheur sont déjà là. » Cultivating the mind of love, Thich Nhat Hang, Parallax Press, 1996 Du29au 31 mai, jours feuilles.  Semez en place les chicorées, les laitues.

This episode features two very wise women who share a theory. They believe that we all live in a state of sustainable abundance. We just don't see it. Instead, our mindset is focused on scarcity: the story that tells us we don't have enough. Gina LaRoche & Jen Cohen are long-time friends, skilled coaches and consultants and co-authors of the new book The 7 Laws of Enough, published by Parallax Press. Their hope is to help us all create a shift from thinking about what we don't have, to rejoicing in what we do have. sevenstonesleadership.com    #storybehindhersuccess    #16LifeLessons   #mydoveproductions

+Become a contributing member of the podcast +   Money is one of those topics that, uuuuuuuuugh can bring up so many things - full spectrum. For me - guilt, shame, not good enough, contraction, avoidance, and guilt. It’s different for each person. One thing is for sure though, we definitely don’t like to talk about it in this culture. We also don’t provide basic education on how to work with it well. It’s personally one my main healing entry points, and one that is so essential to address if you are going to be engaged in life and not meditating in a cave 24/7.   Over the years I’ve made my way through a variety of approaches to working with money - both spiritual and uber practical, and they seem to miss the full picture. It wasn’t until I came across Bari’s very somatic based money teachings that things started to shift. Bari pieces together all the different layers together in way a that is incredibly nurturing, direct, and effective. In this first episode of season 2 Bari shares some crazy helpful tools and illuminating stories on how we can heal our relationship to money, develop healthy money practices, and find our way to financial happiness.   "Fear, anxiety, anger, sadness, checking out, joy, guilt, excitement - all the emotions that come up in any other big area of life will come up with money too. They are all welcome. They are all part of the terrain."   We discussed: How Bari’s daunting student loan surprisingly propelled her out of her somatic therapy practice into conscious bookkeeping and later money therapy The power of basic financial education - and how the lack of it affects everyone Why we need to address the psychological, spiritual, and practical levels when working with money Money shame - how it shows up and the initial antidote to unravel it The key of the body check-in for any money moments Money Dates - how to set yourself up well Why you need to look at your numbers and identify your money values The inner money judge voice The money differences that can arise with couples Tips for having those tough money conversations and plans with your partner The Art of Money for Financial Happiness Resources: Website: http://baritessler.com/ Instagram: @baritessler The Art of Money School: http://baritessler.com/art-of-money/   About Bari: Bari Tessler Linden, M.A., is a Financial Therapist, Mentor Coach, Mama-preneur, and the Founder of The Art of Money.

I am grateful for the opportunity to share this conversation with you today!  In this show, I am talking with Financial Therapist, Bari Tessler Linden. We explore mindfulness and money, and how we can start making healthier money decisions that support the life we want to live. We talk about the importance of money healing and how that journey starts from the inside out. When we learn about our personal money stories we can heal and grow from them, while discovering our "enough-ness."   We touch on money shame and why we feel embarrassed to even talk about our money. We dive deeply into the topic of being an "under-earner," and how to break the cycle of over-giving / under-receiving. How important it is to create healthy boundaries and to practice saying "no" more often. This conversation is rich with powerful and practical tips and Bari's wise, loving guidance will empower you on your money healing journey.

Most of us were not taught how to have a relationship to money … We’re learning it as adults. It needs to be done in baby steps. There’s lots of learning curves. We need to be loving, gentle and compassionate around it.  – Bari Tessler On this episode of the Plan Simple Meals Podcast, I’m so excited on many levels to talk with Bari Tessler about money and mindset. Her approach to money is really similar to the way I approach food and health. Bari trained as a psychotherapist and brings that framework to her money methodology. We talk about bringug attention and awareness and compassion to all the big areas of life that are challenging or that we have shame around—including our relationship to money. I love that she does so much work with healing to start our money work. She recognizes that most of us are never taught to have a relationship with money or how to have conversations about money. As we learn these things as adults, we need to baby steps and accept the learning curve. And we need to be loving, gentle and compassionate to ourselves around money and this learning process. We talk about: The first step to change being awareness, getting curious, gathering data, whether it’s money or food or some other change we need to make, and how to use a body check in to gain awareness as an antidote to money shame. Tapping into our personal money story—what we got from our parents, from religion, from other aspects of our lives Staying with big emotions so that we can work through them (because they will keep coming up) Focusing on your values as you do money work and even aligning your bookkeeping with your values + the dance couples do to align their values and spending patterns Creating a money map that includes basic needs, comfortable lifestyle, ultimate or  needs, wants, desires The concept of a money date and how to make them enjoyable BIO Bari Tessler Linden, M.A., is a Financial Therapist, Mentor Coach and Mama-preneur.

LINKS BariTessler.com The Art of Money The Four Phases of Money with Your Honey   Doable Changes from this episode: DO A BODY CHECK IN. Check in on a few levels. On a physical level, what are you noticing? On a sensation level, what are you noticing? On an emotional level, what are the emotions that are present? On a breathing level, how deep, how shallow, where in your body? This only takes a minute. Try it anytime you are interacting with money this week, like when you have money conversations with your spouse, when you are looking at your  balances or paying your bills, when you’re at about to purchase something. PLAN A MONEY DATE. Start with 20 minutes with your partner. You each get 10 minutes to talk and 10 minutes to listen deeply. Share your money stories. To do this, answer questions like: What is your mother’s relationship with money? How is yours the same, or different? What is your father’s relationship with money? How is yours the same, or different? How did your ethnicity, religion, or spirituality impact your relationship with money? What was your money role in the family, especially if you have siblings? (spender, saver, combo, etc.) IDENTIFY YOUR VALUES. Bari talks a lot about identifying your values and mapping your money around that. Start by noticing what’s important to you and the spending you do related to that. Ask your partner to share their values and how they want to spend. You will likely be very different, but understanding the other person’s values can start to smooth out tension around spending.

Today's guest, Bari Tessler is a financial therapist. We've been acquainted for many years and more recently had the opportunity to drop in more deeply at a women's leadership event. Bari is a financial therapist and the creator and author of The Art of Money. It's no secret that I LOVE soaking up wisdom from women who are further along on their life path than I am and this is one of the reasons I was pumped to have her on the show! Bari's big truth was about getting her ass kicked by perimenopause. From there we discussed how she's working to leave a legacy both in her business and through parenting her son. She also shared her story, the training and experience that led her to create her integrative approach to money (which includes the antidote to money shame!), and the relationship between urgency, responsibility and thoroughness. This was one of those interviews I wished could have gone for a whole extra hour, we'll definitely have to have Bari back. Enjoy and share!

Food is considered by some - and for some - to be a "keystone habit." Coined by Charles Duhigg, a keystone habit is a habit that leads to the development of other good habits. Getting 8 hours of sleep per night, for instance, is a keystone habit.  For many, organizing our food (and, I would add, solving for addictive behaviors around food) is also a keystone habit.  When we begin to clean up our food, we may notice ourselves waking up to other parts of our life that we feel ready to clean up. One of the biggies that can come up here is, you guessed it - Money.  Bari Tessler is a pioneer of her unique style of money work, which brings her background in somatic psychology (body psychology) into the financial picture by leading her students to do their emotional money work first, before they dive in to organizing the numbers.  Concepts like forgiveness, completions, ritual, and money stories play a big part in Bari's approach to money work. In my opinion, her integrative approach is what makes her courses, podcasts, blogs, and other offerings, so effective.  In this episode, I interview Bari about:  Her own history and relationship with food Parallels between food work and money work  Her favorite, astonishingly simple tool for greater money awareness What are money practices? And how are they an act of self-care?   Moving from secrecy to transparency in our money lives  The first two steps for moving from disempowerment to empowerment around money Bari's gentle and effective approach is perfect for anyone who ever feels overwhelmed by the vast subject of money.  Here's her official bio:  Bari Tessler Linden, M.A., is a Financial Therapist, Mentor Coach, Mama-preneur, and the Founder of The Art of Money. She has guided thousands of people to new, empowered, and refreshingly honest relationships with money through her nurturing, body-centered approach.  Her work has been featured on Oprah.com, Inc.com, and the Huffington Post and in US News & World Report, Reuters Money, The Fiscal Times, USA Today, The Cut, Girlboss, Nerd Wallet, The Simple Dollar, REDBOOK Magazine and Experience Life Magazine. Bari earned a Masters in Somatic Psychology from Naropa University and worked in body-centered therapy for over a decade before unexpectedly falling in love with bookkeeping systems and money work. Her unique methodology integrates these two worlds into deep money healing that honors all the facets of our money relationships: body to spirit, lineage to career, smart practices to deep visioning, and much more. Bari is currently leading a global conscious money movement via her year-long program, The Art of Money, which weaves together personal, couple and entrepreneurial money teachings.

The Berkeley Bowl CookbookRecipes Inspired By The Extraordinary Produce Of California's Most Iconic MarketBy Laura McLively Suzy Chase: Welcome to the Cookery by the Book Podcast, with me, Suzy Chase.Laura: I'm Laura McLively, and my new cookbook is the Berkeley Bowl Cookbook.Suzy Chase: Epicurious just named the Berkeley Bowl Cookbook one of the it cookbooks for Spring 2018. Tell us about Berkeley Bowl and the owners.Laura: So, Berkeley Bowl is a family-run market. They, Glenn and Diane Yasuda are the owners, and they opened up shop in a former bowling alley back in 1977, so a lot of people think that the store is called Berkeley Bowl because of the bowl alluding to some sort of edible culinary adventure, but it's actually named after the bowling alley, and so they opened up shop there back in 1977 because they used to live behind that location, and Glenn and Diane spent some time living in Japan, and that arrangement really reminded them of how shops were set up in there in Japan, where people had their store front and they lived behind it, and so, they bought the property, turned it into a grocery store that was mainly produce, and from there it evolved into what is now 40 years later a very big grocery store with over 600 employees.Suzy Chase: I found it really interesting that local farmers asked Berkeley Bowl what they should plant.Laura: Yeah, I do too. I think that that's the unique aspect of Berkeley Bowl, and that because it's still a family-run market, they're able to work directly with farmers and local growers to source and ask them to produce items that they want to have in their grocery store, that large grocery franchises can't really do that because they have to provide such huge quantities and take them to a centralized warehouse and distribute them to all the locations. They can't really work with a small farmer to produce some niche item, and so it's a really nice arrangement because in that way, Berkeley Bowl can ask a small farm to produce, for instance, food at hand, knowing that they have a huge customer base that wants that item, and then the small farmer has a guaranteed market for that item. They're not taking that huge risk of growing something that's maybe a little bit wacky or unknown to most people and risking no one buying it.Suzy Chase: The LA Times has called Berkeley Bowl one of the nation's most renowned retailers of exotic fruits and vegetables. Describe the first time you saw an African Horned melon at Berkeley Bowl, and what is it?Laura: So, that's a great question. If you have my book, it's right on the cover because it's such a unique item. It's on the back side, and it's a neon orange orb that is covered in darker orange spikes, and when you cut into it, it literally oozes this lime green juice and all these seeds, and it seriously looks like some sort of spiky hand grenade or a weapon from outer space, and in fact, the first time I saw it was featured on a Star Trek episode, where aliens in outer space are eating this fruit, and it's actually an African Horned melon. It's not something that they CGI'ed or created for the show. I think it's really interesting that it's ...Suzy Chase: That's funny.Laura: it's on Star Trek, but my first time seeing it in the store was I had moved here from Sonoma county. I moved to Berkeley to go to college, and I had heard about Berkeley Bowl, and I immediately went there because I wanted to check it out for myself, and I was, of course, struck by the variety they had. Even though I'd heard about it, I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. They had so many amazing fruits and vegetables that I'd never seen before, and I think, by far, the most extreme one is the African Horned melon, and I picked it up. I looked at it. There happened to be one that was cut in half, and I smelled it, and it just, it was kind of intoxicating. It smells like lime and banana and melon and cucumber all mixed together, but something in me didn't feel like I could take it home and eat it. It was almost like all these unusual fruits and vegetables that weren't part of my culture, I almost felt like I didn't have permission to take them home and cook with them, like they weren't mine. And it wasn't until years later, after an experience of living in Spain and having a cooking club there, where we were basically just challenging ourselves each week to cook with something we'd never cooked with before, it wasn't until coming back from there that I was really yearning to continue that spirit of adventurous cooking, that when I went back to Berkeley Bowl for the first time, and I saw these fruits and vegetables in that new context, I was like, well, hey, why aren't I doing this now? Why don't I continue that spirit of adventurous cooking from my own home? And so that's when I picked it up, brought it home, and played around with it and had so much fun developing recipes for it that I decided to start a blog where I would chronicle my adventures with doing that with each and every item in the store I could find.Suzy Chase: Yeah, before we talk about your blog, you have a line in your book that says, "Foods unfamiliar to me are as much a part of someone else's everyday diet as tomatoes are to my family."Laura: Exactly. Yeah, and so that fruit, every fruit and vegetable in my book is normal to someone, right?Suzy Chase: Yeah.Laura: And for good reason, so these things are really amazing, and they may be popular in other cultures, other countries, but even within the United States, other regions, and once you get over that fact of, once you realize that fact that these things are normal to someone, it kind of [inaudible 00:06:18] some of the intimidation in working with these fruits and vegetables because maybe at first glance they look like, oh, well I've never seen that before. I wouldn't possibly know what to do with it, but someone somewhere is cooking with that, otherwise it wouldn't be in the store, and it's probably for a very good reason.Suzy Chase: That's a really good thing to remember.Laura: Yeah, I think so.Suzy Chase: So, you chronicled your journey cooking with the market's ingredients on your blog called My Berkeley Bowl. Tell us about your blog.Laura: So, my blog was really just a personal challenge. It was a ... where I just chronicling my own personal challenge. Like I said, once I brought my first exotic or unfamiliar food home and had so much fun developing a recipe for it, I sort of just challenged myself to make my way through all the unfamiliar fruits and vegetables at Berkeley Bowl, and I thought, why don't I chronicle this adventure because there's bound to be some interesting discoveries and mishaps, which there were, and it could be some fun, and so I really was just writing for myself, and I was surprised that when I posted my first entry, it's kind of crazy how the internet works. I don't know how someone found it, but within a minute, I had a like, and I was kind of like what? How did someone find it? It's been ... At that point, I didn't even know how to tag my posts in a way that they were searchable. It was really just so fun, and so I was surprised to see it kind of grow, and people starting to comment and saying they really liked the concept, and even on Wordpress you can see in which countries people are reading your blog, and so really quickly, there were people all over the world reading it, and I don't know if it's maybe because they were excited to see maybe something that they grew up eating being featured on a blog, but it was really neat to see that it was being appreciated outside of the Berkeley area, and so I did that for ... Let's see. I started it in spring of 2015, and it was that December of the same year that Parallax Press approached me about turning it into a cookbook, and it just seemed like a great idea because it was such a finite project with a very specific aim of cooking with unfamiliar fruits and vegetables, and it just really seemed like it would work as a cookbook because part of what I wanted of this is to see, to really shine the spotlight on these fruits and vegetables, and so to have a beautiful, almost coffee table-like book with luscious photos by Erin Scott, that really capture how beautiful these fruits and vegetables are, is sort of a dream come true for me.Suzy Chase: In the book, the recipes are organized by type and ingredient. Talk a little bit about that.Laura: So, I didn't go the traditional route of organizing it by courses because this is really an ingredient-driven book. That's how my process was for developing the recipes, and so that's how the cookbook is laid out, so what I mean by that is I literally would walk into the store not knowing what I would find that day because it's different every day, based on what's in season, and I would pick up something new and bring it home, and after trying that one item in a jillion different ways, I would develop a recipe for it, and so it makes sense to me to organize the book in a way that really honors the fruit or vegetable itself rather than organize it by course because that's not how I developed the recipes. And in addition, I think it's really, it's kind of a poetic way to think about these things, but in a chapter, that if you want to delve into a chapter, you're working with spores and succulents, or you can work with flowers, seeds, and pods, and so I think it's a kind of poetic way to think about these things and just to treat them as the superstars or as the hero of the dish, rather than as an ingredient in a breakfast or in a dessert or in a dinner.Suzy Chase: You have a whole chapter dedicated to stems. What exactly are stems?Laura: Stems are basically anything that would be the stalk or the stem of a plant, and so, some examples in the book are things like Bạc Hà, which is the stem of the Elephant Ear plant, so it's a really spongy stem that once you cook it, it's like a sponge. It literally soaks up the broth, so it's really commonly used in, for instance, hot and sour soup type dishes, and I use it in a Spanish-style garlic soup. Other stems that maybe don't even look like stems are, like one that surprises people who are familiar with it is kohlrabi. The kohlrabi is, people think it's the bulb of the plant or the tuber, but it's actually a stem that's kind of in a round shape, so that one is, that's the kind of surprising one in that chapter. And then I have things like white asparagus and lemongrass, which is in a lemongrass coconut ice cream, [inaudible 00:11:44], cardoons, rhubarb, so all different colors and shapes and sizes that when you weigh them out, and if you have the book, you can see them laid out in the spread, and it's like art. It's these beautiful different shapes and sizes and colors.Suzy Chase: When I go to an ethnic market that has exotic produce, I'm so intimidated by the fruits or vegetables that I can't identify. What advice would you give someone like me, who's daunted by the unknown?Laura: Have some fun. There's no harm in making mistakes, and there's really, you really can't make mistakes first of all, but if you take it home and you try using it in a way that you don't like, no harm, no foul. You can just try again, but I think I would say that you would quickly find that the fun of doing it outweighs the fear of the unknown, and there's also of a lot of resources available to you. One thing I would say is if you're at a market and you're looking at something you're considering cooking at home, but you're not sure what to do with it, just stick around and wait because someone is bound to come up and reach for it, and it's a great way to interact and to share between cultures because you can ask the person, hey, what are you doing with that? And that's what I often did at the store, is I would sit around and wait for someone to reach for the burdock root, and I'd ask them, what do you do with that? Also, the staff at those places are usually very knowledgeable, and so you can ask them questions, and if they don't know, someone else might know, and they'll go grab them, so that happened a lot at Berkeley Bowl, where the staff is diverse with the community and is diverse with the offerings at the market, and so I was always able to get an answer from them. And then, of course, most of us have iPhones or smart phones, and so you can look it up. There's some great resources out there. You can find a lot of them on my blog, My Berkeley Bowl, but also Specialty Produce is a great website that has a lot of information on specialty produce as well.Suzy Chase: Yeah, I took the book with me to Chinatown because there's a bit of a language barrier, and that helped a lot, getting the produce that I needed to make some of these recipes.Laura: Oh, good. Yeah, I was hoping ... I'm hoping this book can sort of be a companion because of the nature of the items in it, a lot of times they have a short season or you have to go to a specific market to find them, and so my idea is that you just pack this up and take it there because you don't really know what you're going to find until you get there, so it's better to go see what's there, and then maybe look it up, and in the back there's a key, where all of the produce is pictured with numbers, and you can look up the name of it so that you can easily find it and identify it and make sure you're picking up the right thing.Suzy Chase: As a food explorer, and I love that title, how did you determine how to cook a mysterious fruit or vegetable? Walk us through how you developed these recipes in the book.Laura: Generally, once I got the item home, I started a process of what I call playing around with it, so generally I would try it raw to see what it tastes like in its pure form and really identify its flavor, and if it's something that needs to be cooked, I would usually cook it a couple different ways, and not necessarily the most, the way that it's most commonly used in that culture. So, I wanted to see if there were other ways to bring out its structure and flavor, so I'd broil it or braise it or roast it, grate it. I'd try as many ways as I could to see how I liked it the best, and then once I identified the way in which it, the way which truly honored its texture and its flavor, I was usually inspired by that point to incorporate some other flavors, so for instance, something like a green papaya, when I tried that on its own, it's really bright and acidic, and I knew I wanted to have it in a gazpacho because gazpacho should be very bright and acidic. So, from there, I fiddled around with what I wanted in the gazpacho. I threw in some avocado for creaminess and some cucumbers and limes and ultimately tried and tried and adjust and adjust until it's to the point where it can be tested, and then I would send it to a huge team of friends and recipe testers, I think there's about 35 of them all over the world, and someone would try it at least three times, and we would adjust it from there.Suzy Chase: So, I made a few things out of this cookbook. First was the pickled kumquats on page 197. The flavor was definitely different. I expected the kumquats to be very sweet.Laura: Yeah, I think a lot of people expect oranges but they're not ...Suzy Chase: Yes.Laura: ... as many oranges.Suzy Chase: Exactly.Laura: Exactly. So, I think what I love about pickled kumquats is that they're not sweet, and it's not supposed to be candied or like a fruit that you would eat on its own. It's really meant to brighten and add acid to pair it with, so I always had a jar of pickled kumquats in my fridge to throw in salads. It's really great to throw on a salad, or just something to make it more beautiful and acidic and tangy, and guests are always surprised because they sort of look like cherry tomatoes, but the Sun Gold tomatoes, so when they bite into them and instead they find this citrusy, pickly taste, they're always like, wow, what's that? And then they're also really great on a cheese plate because creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert can really finish it from having a little touch of brightness and acid.Suzy Chase: Yeah, they were definitely tangy. I'm going to try them on a cheese plate.Laura: Yeah.Suzy Chase: I also made the purple cauliflower quesadilla with curry crema. Try saying that three times fast on page 73, and I cooked the cauliflower until it was super, super soft, and the curry cream was such a nice surprise with it.Laura: I'm so glad you liked it, and yeah, I'm glad you brought up that recipe because, actually, both the recipes you brought up. One thing that people have told me when I tell them that I have this cookbook is they say, "Oh, I'm not a good cook. I probably shouldn't cook anything out of your book," and I'm always surprised by that because just because ingredients are extraordinary and unique and sometimes look intimidating doesn't mean that the recipes are. I'm a home cook. I'm not a classically trained chef by any means ...Suzy Chase: Me, too.Laura: ... and I'm cooking for my family, right? So it's like these are things that I should cook, and purple cauliflower quesadillas is about as easy as it gets, so the things that are meant to be accessible and to take the intimidation out of these fruits and vegetables.Suzy Chase: And my 11 year old loved this quesadilla. It's really a great weeknight fast dinner.Laura: Good, I'm so glad that you're daughter liked it, too.Suzy Chase: He's a son, but that's okay.Laura: Oh, sorry. Yeah.Suzy Chase: So, I also made the starfruit almond torte on page 198, and I didn't have a springform pan, so it was rough getting it out, but it was really delicious, and I was surprised by how almondy, is that a word,? Almondy it was.Laura: Yeah, that ... This tart was inspired by Tarta de Santiago, which is the St. James cake that they serve in Santiago de Compostela, which is the end of the pilgrimage that you can do across northern Spain, and so when you arrive in this town, there's sort of cake in every window, and it's an almond based cake, and I've always loved it, and my mom used to make it when we were growing up, and it's really simple to make, too. It's kind of a foolproof dessert, and so when I saw the starfruit, I knew I wanted it to decorate the top of the cake, but rather than just laying it on there raw, I thought it would be really cool to bake it into the cake, so there's like a pineapple upside down cake and flip it over, and so there's a sort of a combination of those two things, and I think it comes out beautifully, and if you serve it to guests, they can be like, oh, my gosh, how did you cut the fruit in that beautiful shape, and they don't realize that it just comes that way.Suzy Chase: Yeah, it's really pretty. Last night, I made the broiled pomelo with cinnamon crème-fraiche on page 172. Now, what's the difference between a pomelo and a grapefruit?Laura: A pomelo is much larger, and it has a much thicker rind and pith, whereas grapefruit is obviously smaller and has a thinner rind. I also think pomelo is a bit sweeter. It's sweeter and it has less bitterness, so if you always wanted to like grapefruit, but you just can't get over the fact that it has that bitter taste, you should try pomelo, and the reason I like it in this preparation is because when you slice it in half and you broil it, there's more, the pith is bright white, and it just looks prettier than grapefruit. It has that nice contrast between the pith and the fruit, and it kind of caramelizes and burns a little bit on top, so I think it works really well in this recipe.Suzy Chase: Where can we find you on social media?Laura: So, my social media, my Twitter handle and my Instagram handle is @myberkeleybowl, and I have a Facebook page as well that's My Berkeley Bowl. My website, the blog is myberkeleybowl.com, and you can also me on my personal website lauramclively.com.Suzy Chase: With this cookbook as your handy guide, sourcing produce is fun.

« Aimer sans savoir comment aimer blesse la personne que l’on aime » Écouter l’épisode Qu’est-ce que l’amour? On parle de l’amour inconditionnel, cet amour qui n’a besoin de rien en retour. Il y a l’amour passionnel qui peut détruire. Il y a l’amour omniprésent, celui qui émerge lorsque la peur disparait et donne du sens à la vie. La chanson ne dit-elle pas « Nous n’avons besoin que d’amour! » Le sentiment d’amour accompagne nos vies. Parfois il grandit et d’autres fois se perd dans nos soucis. L’amour par moment nous apporte une grande joie, mais lorsqu’il semble avoir disparu, nous rempli de désespoir. Mais malgré cette proximité, pour beaucoup, l’amour reste un mystère. Mais qu’en pense le bouddhisme, cette philosophie épurée de la vie fondée sur l’expérience des sens et du moment présent? Qu’est ce que l’amour selon le bouddhisme La réponse nous vient de l’un de ses plus respectés porte-parole, le moine zen vietnamien Thich Nhat Hanh. Un ouvrage, How to Love (ed. Parallax Press), vient de paraître avec une collection de ses observations sur ce vaste sentiment humain. Nhat Hanh note en essence qu’aimer l’autre c’est le comprendre. Et par comprendre, il entend: être capable de ressentir, sans jugement, le profond sentiment d’insatisfaction qui fait souffrir la personne qui est face à nous. Comprendre l’autre commence par créer suffisamment d’espace en soi pour d’abord se comprendre soi-même et pour ensuite pouvoir accueillir l’autre. Il ajoute Le moine zen explique que tout commence par soi. Pour aimer l’autre, il faut d’abord être conscient de ses propres sentiments. Nhat Hanh observe que notre capacité à aimer a été influencée par notre éducation et nos proches. Nhat Hanh parle aussi de la différence entre infatuations, ce fantasme de ce que l’autre peut devenir pour soi, et amour. Le moine zen ajoute que parce que nous nous sentons vides, nous essayons de trouver quelque chose à l’extérieur pour compenser ce manque. Au lieu de prendre le temps de mieux nous connaître soi-même, nous nous précipitions vers les objets de l’extérieur pour assouvir notre mal-être. Ce perpétuel sentiment d’insatisfaction ne peut pas se résoudre à l’aide de l’extérieur (rencontrer un partenaire de vie, s’enrichir…). Il est une invitation à développer plus de compréhension et de compassion envers soi-même. Nhat Hanh continue sur l’importance de d’abord faire la paix avec soi-même avant de pouvoir rencontrer l’autre. Développer une profonde appréciation pour la vie, pour votre vie et pour celle de la personne en face est un prérequis pour une relation harmonieuse. Autrement le risque de souffrir et de faire souffrir est bien réel. Le moine vietnamien nous invite à d’abord nous connaître véritablement, et c’est là tout le but de la pratique de la pleine conscience. Car à travers la connaissance – plonger en soi – naissent l’appréciation et la compassion, et à partir de là, l’amour, qu’il soit romantique ou envers toute autre personne, peut s’épanouir. Découvrez ce simple et efficace exercice de pleine conscience >> Note: Version texte initialement publiée en avril 2015 Sources et références: Source: Maria Popova – Brainpickings ; Livre: How to Love, Thich Nhat Hanh, Ed.

When you think of Body Kindness do you think of money too? I didn’t always make the connection, but I realized that how money moves through your life is an expression of your values and beliefs about yourself. I have also experienced clients who were restrictive with food and money “you don’t deserve…” and clients who spent frivolously to get that “reward” only to experience a downward spiral when the bills came.

Thank you for patience in our posting a dharma talk from our teacher. Today we are happy to offer a talk for the new year. This 63-minute dharma talk by Thich Nhat Hanh is from December 31, 2008 at Plum Village, Lower Hamlet, Dharma Nectar Temple. The theme of the talk is about interbeing and the world we are. It’s the last day of the year. Can you believe it? Where does it go? And from what direction does the next year come? Questions are interesting and important. And in the teaching of the Buddha, we learn of no-coming and no-going. Thay shares a story of his walking meditation from Still Sitting Hut to the temple at Son Ha, down the hill. Life is everywhere. Seeing also how the oak leaves become the soil. There is a lot of happiness in seeing and observing these things. Why? Because then Thay is not afraid of dying! Life is everywhere, inside and all around us. Teaching on giving - there is the giver, the gift, and the receiver. Illustrated by the corn seed. And that of our parents. Is there a distinction between the giver, gift, and receiver? The emptiness in giving. Another illustration, the left and the right. Everything is inside everything else. How do we love? And healing and forgiveness? Every thought is considered action. You can heal the world by right thinking. Your thought can be the giver of life. Our right thinking is already action toward healing and forgiveness. We the also have right speech - also a healing action. Be the giver of life. We can profit right away. Right action can be also be seen in a triple aspect - thinking, speaking, and acting. This is our continuation, our karma. This is retribution - two aspects of retribution are taught. We never die. Whether we like it or not. But we can continue beautifully. You are your environment. The oak leaf becoming the soil teaches us this - the oak leaf becomes the soil. The World We Have, recently published by Parallax Press, might have a better title as “The World We Are.” As you walk around, look at everything as yourself. In the closing minutes of the talk, Thay speaks to a handout of personal commitments that we can make to better support the environment in the coming year. A version of this handout is available on the Earth Holder website under Personal Commitments. Happy New Year! If you appreciate this teaching, please consider making a donation to support the ongoing efforts of the online monastery. Please make a note with your donation that it was because of this talk.

Today on the Podcast, guest Bari Tessler. I've said it before and I'll say it again, "The teacher is the student." And the best coaches, mentors, therapists are those who continually do their own work to heal and grow, understanding we're all in this dance together. So it's with great appreciation I introduce you to my dear colleague and personal mentor, Bari Tessler. As a Financial Therapist, Mentor Coach and Mamapreneur: Bari's work has been seen on Oprah.com, Inc.com, the Huffington Post, Us News & World Report, Reuters Money, The Fiscal Times,  The Yogi Times, Best Self Magazine, Emerging Women, and you may have even seen her grace the cover of Experience Life Magazine.  And while she's achieved undeniable "success," it's the way she's redefined and reclaimed what that meant for herself (at every phase of business and season of life) which gives so much hope to anyone wondering how to do this whole creative entrepreneurial life as a mom. (Hi, that's ME!) The Power of Immersive Learning: While Bari and I first met through Marie Forleo’s B-school, it wasn't until enrolling in her own year long program, the Art of Money (with my husband) that I deeply connected to the true power of what she calls Money Healing, Money Practices and Money Maps. Her book The Art of Money: A Life-Changing Guide to Financial Happiness, published by Parallax Press, is the first of many (we hope) and brings sweet relief right when you need it most. In this Episode We Talk About: • How she went from earning $11/hr in the mental health field to Oprah • The link between our bodies, EQ, and relationship to money • Why she pivoted through 4 distinct Business Models • The power in scaling down & the growth myth in biz • Feminine Leadership vs Masculine Launching • The sudden realization she had to have a baby • How her marriage navigated the #1 agreement that changed • The home birth that became near fatal and how she healed • How her leadership style differs between work and home • The loneliness that can come with "being at the top" and shifts in friendship • Universal self-doubts that plague all creative entrepreneurs • Why this is a psycho-spiritual journey and continual practice • How Nature answers her deepest questions Get Ready to Hear All The Behind-The-Scenes Stories & Insights that Bari is dropping.   Mentioned in this Podcast: • Follow Bari: website , FACEBOOK , Instagram , Twitter • Her Book: The Art of Money: A Life-Changing Guide to Financial Happiness • People: Marie Forleo's B-School , Mark Silver , Brian Clark • Platforms: Rainmaker , Copyblogger , Clarity Lab • The Dreamcatchers District Creative Direction: For Your Beliefs and Business, Ask Me How   This is Not a Monologue, Chime In!

Today I'm speaking with Bari Tessler. Bari Tessler Linden, MA, is a Financial Therapist, Mentor Coach and Mama-preneur. Bari's gentle, body-centered approach weaves together personal, couple, and creative entrepreneurial money teachings into one complete tapestry. She is the founder of The Art of Money: a global, year-long money school, which integrates Money Healing, Money Practices and Money Maps. Her work has been featured on Oprah.com, Inc.com, and the Huffington Post and in US News & World Report, Reuters Money, The Fiscal Times, Experience Life Magazine, Yogi Times, Best Self Magazine and Emerging Women. Bari is also the author of The Art of Money: A Life-Changing Guide to Financial Happiness, published by Parallax Press. Learn more about Bari at: http://baritessler.com/ After reading Bari's book, I knew I just had to interview her. I know, maybe a little strange to have a financial therapist on a show about food and nutrition, but Bari's money practices actually have a lot in common with my nutrition practices. She also stresses the importance about connecting to your body when making a decision about money. Most prominently, this episode is about releasing shame around money. And again, I can't stress enough, like we all have money shame, we all carry food and body shame as well. Shame is shame is shame. No matter what you're struggling with right now, Bari offers some really great tips on how to release feelings of shame, and start taking productive action to heal your relationship with money, and ultimately, yourself. Her book really helped me see that I am not bad with money. Just like you can't be bad with food, your issues surrounding money are not your fault. And the solution doesn't involve sticking with an unrealistic and strict budget. Much of the solution involves shifting your mindset, and making gentle shifts in your money practices, and your future planning (sound familiar)? After you listen to the episode, if you're craving more information, I highly recommend reading Bari's book, The Art of Money. I've read it twice! Also, Bari will be launching her fifth round of her year-long course, also The Art of Money. Registration opens on January 17th and I WILL be enrolling! I am not an affiliate for the book or program, so I am recommending this because it's something I truly believe can be helpful if this is an area you struggle with!

Other teacher and influences include Philip Moffit, Alan Watts, Jack Kornfield, Kate Miller, her four children, and the monks and nuns of Plum Village. In October 2009, Annie was ordained into the Buddhist Order of Interbeing with the ordination name True Blue Lake.

Bari is one of my closest girlfriends. It then comes as no surprise that we had a really deep interview, where Bari opened up about stories she had never shared before. She talks a little bit about her work, The Art of Money, but she mostly shares tender, personal stories. We explore the "Father's-Daughter Archetype," a concept I write about in The Book of SHE, and how Bari had to rebel against her father's "way" in order to find her own inner compass. We also explore the grief process, and some recent money riddles that it took her decades to solve. Grab a cup of tea, nibble on some dark chocolate (Bari's favorite), and settle in with us for this rich, sisterly conversation.

Dear friends,   Today we share a talk by Sister Tuong Nghiem and translated by Sister Tinh Nghiem.  As a young monastic, our sister remembers that it was not easy for her to practice mindfulness in midst of difficulties. She shares conversations she had with Thay when she felt overwhelmed and her own insights into how we can stop, breathe, and see our difficulties clearly. It is not always easy; and that is ok.    Also from the online sangha this week,we invite you to join an online, televised panel discussion about Sister D's new book, Mindfulness as Medicine.  I'll be talking with Jason Kim from Parallax Press and Nadia Coburn from Anchor Magazine.  You can write in questions for us live during the one-hour program, Tuesday at 9am Pacific. Or of course, watch it online later. To connect, go to bit.ly/sisterd.  We'll see you there!   Now, enjoy this moment to stop and look deeply.

What is the perfect book to capture our August exploration of “the call to love”? It had to be something by Thich Nhat Hanh, but I couldn't choose between Fidelity on how to have an intimate relationship and Cultivating the Mind of Love on how to have a loving relationship with all. So I chose both! As with all of Thich Nhat Hanh's books, these two are short and easy to read. Easy, but not simple. Reading them is like sitting down to have a gentle, loving conversation with Thich Nhat Hanh himself. Rachel Neumann of Parallax Press, Thich Nhat Hanh's editor in America, joins us to share what it's like to live deep within the master's teachings on love.  

June 17, 2012. 93-minute dharma talk by Thich Nhat Hanh from Upper Hamlet in Plum Village during the 21-Day Retreat with the theme The Science of the Buddha. The talk is given in English and this is the twelfth dharma talk (of 15). This talk is a session of Questions and Answers. Questions I want to go home because cooking materials needed for my special diet is being stolen from my tent in Lower Hamlet. I feel unsafe here. What should I do? How do we handle training people in mindfulness to address concerns of global warming, food shortages, war, etc.? How fast should we go? How much practice do we need before we can teach? Can you help me understand the new language in the revised Third and Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings, especially the line about "being known to my family and friends" as it relates to LBGT community? I have my own ideas/understanding, I've been using the practice of "no" (koan) as you described in Zen Keys. Is this good practice? How to practice letting go? Three written questions on transmission and karma of illness through the family.  For example, suicide. What role does Parallax Press and your books have in sharing the dharma and the mindfulness Trainings? How do I work with internal anger (maybe manifested via external illness)? Dance and writing
