In the Spirit of the Buddha an interview with Paul R. and Susan K. Fleischman. Vipasana teachers in the tradition of S.N. Goenka, Susan K. And Paul R. Fleischman have been walking on the path of Dhamma for many decades. Paul has published various titles relating to the teachings of the Buddha and Vipassana meditation. Paul's work often bridges his experience as a seeker and meditator and his professional background in science—psychology, biology, and medicine. The topic of this Pariyatti Presents... event of February 27 is a book that Susan and Paul have worked on together. It is a collection of prose poems entitled In the Spirit of the Buddha. In the Spirit of the Buddha is aimed to inspire, rather than to represent the full span of the teaching of the Buddha. All compositions combine the Buddha's thoughts with contemporary phrasing. They cannot be considered direct quotes from the Pāli Canon, because the authors have worked only with English language translations and combined similar passages, or modified the language for readability. At the same time, the authors emphasize that these words are not original to them, because they are in the spirit of the Buddha. They are sparks from the campfire that continue to glow in the dark.

Cultivating Inner Peace an interview with Paul R. Fleischman. Paul Fleischman, psychiatrist, author and long-time meditator, writes about the psychology, wisdom and poetry of those who have inspired him in his personal quest for harmony and happiness. The learnable qualities of peaceful living are brought into focus by examining the lives of diverse exemplars such as Mahatma Gandhi, Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, the Buddha, John Muir, Scott and Helen Nearing, and Rabindranath Tagore. His ultimate example is an autobiographical account of his own experience with his practice of Vipassana. The final chapter of the book is a compelling appeal to all people to walk the path of peace as a way of healing the earth itself.

Vipassana Meditation and the Scientific Worldview (2nd Edition) by Paul R. Fleischman. We have lived in an era during which the spirituality intrinsic to science has become obvious. The universe is not random. It contains patterns and paths. This is called the information-state of the universe, and it organizes the materials and energies that form our bodies and minds. We are each microcosms; downloaded into our small selves are a vast array of directives and limits, the laws of science, that govern stars as well as our hearts and minds. We can gain access to some of the wisdom of this universal, lawful reality through meditation. As we observe our body sensations with equanimity, we come in contact with basic laws of physics, like entropy, or the decay of aggregates over time, and we also encounter basic laws of psychology, like the fact that social love, Mettā, leaves us happier than anger or fear. We may become self-balanced to face contingencies. It is science, not mysticism or religion, that reveals the value of Vipassana as a vestibule to ultimate realities, and highlights it as a practical guide to the psychology of well-lived lives. We are each unique snowflakes, patterns and lace, melting in the cosmic storm. We arise and pass inside a universe, a web, a Dhamma. We become aware of the scriptures that are inscribed inside us and that guide our wellbeing. by Paul R.

What happens to wonder in capitalism and bureaucracy? Why wonder makes for a bad employee (and why it's good to be a bad employee?). How a low-budget summer camp saved his life and sense of wonder. The inimitable sound of the Thrush. Wonder: how to use the word without destroying the phenomenon. The role of non-useful information in our lives. How to cultivate wonder. A short digression to dis William Blake. Intentionality: designing our life around wonder. Routinizing wonder and getting in ruts. Unconditional love, empathy, and mirror neurons.   And much, much more…   Some references from the interview: A brief biography of Paul: https://store.pariyatti.org/paul_fleischman Paul's book on Wonder: https://www.amazon.com/Wonder-When-World-Appears-Radiant/dp/1937650235 The song of the hermit thrush: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0mATRdzZSc Whitman's poem starring the thrush (When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd): https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45480/when-lilacs-last-in-the-dooryard-bloomd

Chapter 28 - We Are Everywhere from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. Solutions to the new, crowded, interconnected era will not be just technological but spiritual. They will embrace sorrow for what each individual life is not, for without conscious awareness of the sorrow that is intrinsic to individuality, there will be no possible solution to group self aggrandizing aggression and the plagues of externalizing blame that have characterized organized religions and nation-states. I prefer to meet people covered with tears rather than those holding a fistful of complaints. Whether humankind U-turns away from dysplastic growth toward peace or not, I have—and you have—the option to live the best possible life. Inner peace is already within you, waiting to be opened. Cultivating inner peace will make you happier and more resilient and practical, able to face the difficulties of your personal death and human communal confusion head-on. It will open you to realizations that exceed the pragmatic, so that you will enter the stream of peace that is always invisibly flowing in and around you. Engaged in the world most helpfully, you will become an internal habitue of a place beyond the wind, the abode of peace.

Chapter 27 - A Great Cry On Earth from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. The practices from which inner peace derives, and which it in turn furthers, transcend material reality without rejecting it. To find inner peace, a person must be turned completely around. A challenge is set before us by the radical perception of “the flow of nutriment,” which means: Is there anything more to your life than the tumbling on of animal instinct—“the male collects food, and the female lays eggs”? People contain an invisible wavelength that grows out of the feeling of “enough!” It is not exotic nor esoteric, for it is found in every person, more or less developed. Peace ascends through the aperture of psychic fullness. Energy to pursue high values, mindfulness of the ephemeral sensations of every moment, thoughtful inquiry beyond complacency—these are the seeds of enlightenment. Concentration, calm, joy based on perspective rather than acquisition—these are seeds of enlightenment. Equanimity in all circumstances is the culmination of inner peace—the radiance of sufficiency.

Chapter 26 - Our Inner Peace Is Earth's Frontier from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. Cultivating Inner Peace is the most important action we can take to help planet Earth, on whose back we all ride, whose breath we breathe, whose plants provide our food, and whose properly intense sunlight is the source of energy for the molecules that form our body. Rather than solipsistic disinterest, the cultivation of inner peace activates our fundamental human calling: to overcome our predatory egotism—which is the source of war, over population, and environmental destruction—and to reorganize our lives around the deepest gratifications we can feel: love, sympathetic joy, compassion, and peace of heart and mind.

Chapter 25 - A Personal Experience of Vipassana Meditation from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. I took my first Vipassana meditation course in 1974 under the guidance of Mr. Goenka... In those days, Vipassana wasn’t being taught in the West. I made several trips to India and returned with the technique half-learned. I didn’t know where it fit into my life, but I saw it as something honest, free, and useful. I could own it myself, practice it without being swallowed by a religion or being wafted away in a pointless vacuum of career and convention. I became increasingly committed and serious because every time I “sat” I felt I got something out of it. I never had any mystical or unusual experiences. I both experienced my mind-body, and was able to get some distance from it. I kept returning for ten-day courses, and practicing with increasing devotion in between. By now I’ve lived half a lifetime this way, and am archeological proof that meditation isn’t “Eastern thought.” Dr. Paul Fleischman Massachusetts, USA 2020 40 minutes Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Chapter 24 - Peace Is Purity from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. The nucleus of inner peace is purity of heart and mind. When you say, “I want inner peace,” you mean that you want to be able to live with what’s inside you, to be at ease in the depths of yourself; and that integrated positivity, without cracks or seams, is called “purity.” We have no difficulty in becoming aware of our mind. It floods us: it spawns epics and anecdotes and vacation plans. We all dwell in the captivity of our own melodrama. No one who has not spent whole days sealed alone inside her own head can know the fantasia of multiscreen ideation that will not stop for a moment. How can this self-entranced mind gain a more embracing and enduring perspective? Purity, transcendence of imaginary and divisive selfhood, is the outcome of the experience of ineluctable change throughout the dream of the self. When the bodily basis of the self dissolves into the impersonal flows of universal matter, one drop of purity glistens in the mind. Purity is a direct product of experiencing ultimate reality of change in every particle of one’s own body-mind. In a moment of sweeping, penetrating meditation, the students may experience themselves as they might if they observed themselves from a helicopter for a hundred years: as a passing cloud.

Chapter 23 - Peace Is Participation from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. Among those who passed through the cloud chamber of existence and left a track of inner peace to hover behind them and to guide those who follow, none left a more exquisite trace or lived a more complete life than Rabindranath Tagore. His life is exemplary of a life of inner peace and participation. He mastered and manifested the intricate rhythm of solitude alternating with service in an atmosphere of dynamic harmony. He participated in every sphere, an energetic and active life with a broad sweep of interests that brought him into contact with a world fellowship, a bold life of competence and engagement. Yet his residual vapor unambiguously condenses into peace. Dr. Paul Fleischman Massachusetts, USA 2020 25 minutes Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Chapter 22 - Peace Is An Ambiance: Rabindranath Tagore from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. There is a charmed quality to Rabindranath Tagore’s biography that enables us to inhale the fragrance of a life of peace-in- action. Not only the facts, but his atmosphere inspires peace, like the smell of transpiring grass on a summer evening. His history reveals how insight and action are complemented by relationship to an ambiance, producing an infectious feeling tone of dynamic equipoise. The events of his life and his poetry form a bouquet of images that can pervade our own peaceward dreams. As peace seekers, our strongest motivation arises from seeds of our own planting, but we are encouraged onward by the mythic potency of images derived from the lives of those who have absorbed and suffused the atmosphere with peace.

Chapter 21 - Individual Identity Within Egolessness from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. Peaceful living derives from balance in a world of torque. The world shakes, but our gyroscope must remain upright. The student of peace envelops deep habits about how to live intentionally, selectively, naturally, knowledgeably, and harmoniously amidst losses, defeats, and gradual decline. Like an acrobat with eyes fixed on the horizon, peace focuses beyond self. Peaceful people inhabit landscapes where perspective derives from an infinitely distant vanishing point. Peace is transcendence of flux. Mountains erode, continents and oceans slide into one another, stars burn out. Still, men and women find within themselves an unshakeable something-else. Regardless of language, culture, religion, or its absence, inner peace means detachment from anxious narcissistic immediacy and entry into the impersonal. Peace is the simultaneous expansion and contraction of the world beyond measurement.

Chapter 20 - Peace Is Humility or Egolessness from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. Generally, we experience the details of our week as earth-shattering. To live a life of inner peace, we need to cultivate detachment from those gripping ups and downs on which our well-being appears to depend, because it is the delusion of importance that blinds us to the real panorama. The humility that will help you cultivate inner peace is a continuous falling back down to earth, like the leaves of birch trees spilling down in golden autumn showers. The growth of humility, downward, creates an upward expansion of starry sky to contemplate. Traditionally, this attitude of greeting toward the world has been called “egolessness” in the East and “humility” in the West. I want to remove humility from its churchly old lace and make this realization helpful and regular as denim.

Chapter 19 - The Gateway to Sympathetic Joy from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. A person who has learned the skill of sorrow paradoxically will be lightened by kinship and communion with all beings, and will spontaneously speak in phrases of emphathy and saliency. Words and sorrow are a couple with a long, strong marriage. Regardless of what we believe the meaning of our life to be, we feel peaceful when our sense of concern is directed outside ourselves toward others, not as a substitute for selfcare, but as an extension of it. Sorrow is what enables pity, dread, or condescension to become compassion. This is one of the deepest ironies of human nature, that our sorrow also contains a leavening celebration.

Chapter 18 - Sorrow Is a Skill from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. Some people can successfully avoid the depths of life, but if you try to deepen your feelings of peace, you’ll unearth within yourself and the world profound unpleasantness. We saw this to be true in the lives of ecstatic visionaries like Walt Whitman, and in the lives of great nature lovers like Thoreau and Muir. Logically, the world is unknowable to us, who are brief visitors. In spite of that, because of that, to find peace, we have to confront our despairs, ignite our faith, and learn to feel sorrow. Hold on, Reader! We’re headed toward a magnificent campsite, but first we have to be roped for safety across an icy traverse.

Chapter 17 - Peace Is Facing Sorrow from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. If a reader were using this book as a practical guide to cultivating inner peace, he or she might now be thinking: I know that mere situational adjustments won’t essentially improve my life, which gains its trajectory only from my own actions and feelings. I want to sail toward peace, easy in the currents of myself, harmoniously related to people and circumstances, and to achieve this I have to consciously steer with peace as my polestar. When life storms and batters me, my goal is to return to course, and the will to do so creates the dynamic resilience I need. I’ll limit myself to sail light and trim. I’ll absorb the wise directions of those who’ve already negotiated these straits, soaked in the soothing sounds of peace, and my own words will add to this score. I’ll befriend all I meet on wing and wave, an unwalled, welcoming life. But you might feel confused to find, having taken these steps, that you are oppressed by a cloud of sorrow. Yet this would be a good sign, because impersonal and surprising grief is the harbinger beyond the known world of yourself to the horizonless peace you seek, as the story of the Buddha will show.

Chapter 16 - Celebrating with Everyone from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. A peaceful heart celebrates with everyone. “Nature” is a construct, the imposition of a category over the living, vibrating, collections of atoms and molecules, shaped into hearts and minds that are swaying, flying, and yodeling around us today. When even the concept of “nature” is removed, rivers and bears are seen to be as consanguineous as spouses and store clerks. The process of impermanence and change unites the world. Nature and people have no clear demarcation. We are all tumbling on together. What we subsume under the rubric “nature” is the screen onto which we project our own love and compassion—or lack of them—and when we say “love of nature,” we refer to our capacity to pour out nurturant and fond delight toward all or any “others.” “Nature” is inner peace flashed back and forth between a human being and any other kind of cloud.

Chapter 15 - Henry David Thoreau from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. Thoreau was foremost a spiritual seeker, a Transcendentalist, a student of the inner light. Keeping himself free of social institutions like governments, churches, and jobs, he studied, thought, and wrote out his innermost thoughts, and sauntered through nature, observing every detail as a communication from a higher sphere. He stands at the pinnacle of this world wide tradition of keeping nature in focus as a method of tuning the heart to peaceful vibrations. Of all the people I have written about so far, Thoreau probably attained the most abiding equanimity. His story will perfume your mind with peace.

Chapter 14 - John Muir from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. Muir made harmony his orienting point and built a lifestyle around it. He refused teaching positions at Harvard and the Boston Academy of Science, and instead cleaved to the environment he wrote about. John Muir’s intimacy with nature deepened to mental states of fusion, during which he lost his sense of individual identity to blend with the whole. “You bathe in these spirit-beams, turning round and round, as if warming at a campfire. Presently, you lose consciousness of your own separate existence; you blend with the landscape, and become part and parcel of nature.” By “nature,” Muir always meant one mood: harmony in every thing, harmony over and over.

Chapter 13 - Peace In Nature from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. Nature is a stern guru. Those who are not simultaneously knowing themselves as they study nature will be shaken into rude awareness of the great dark truths of the natural world and of their own psyches. Just as nature is the realm of light and beaches and bluebirds, it is the realm of the shadow winter, storms, cold, and death. Immersion in the natural world doesn’t provide a sanctuary from human suffering; it augments and clarifies the deepest origins of distress. When that augmentation is a step toward confrontation and resolution, it is also a step toward inner peace.

Chapter 12 - Mahatma Gandhi's Mantric Collage from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. India's great political and religious leader, Mahatma Gandhi, intended his monumental public life to be merely an extension of his inner cultivation of peace. Foremost among Gandhi’s peaceful qualities were his reverence for world spiritual literature, his awareness that words transmit feelings as well as ideas, his steady immersion in peaceful language, and his use of linguistic vibrations to transform his followers. On your own path, peace means listening and speaking as if your words and actions were playing one instrument in the orchestra of the universe. What you say, read, listen to, will influence how your molecules and nervous system dance, and what messages you will conduct and broadcast. Whitman’s poetry may spring you free of foreshortened time; and Gandhi’s dhuns might, if you could reconstruct them, prepare you for noble social action. The words that you absorb will be important contributors to the peace that you will transmit, intentionally or not.

Chapter 11 - Walt Whitman’s Poetic Peace from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. "A hundred years after his death, Whitman’s life transpires the atmosphere of outdoor freedom. He is known as America’s pagan poet, who set the style of bohemian bard, beckoning to listeners today from old photographs that capture him in his rustic livery, cocked Stetson, open collar, and spirit of dusty rambles on timeless summer days. The story of Whitman’s relationship with his literary ancestors is not only instructive but intriguing, since he intentionally distorted fact to sculpt a poetic truth. Both what he initially intended to hide, and what his writing and later confessions reveal, highlight the role of the vibration of language in his journey toward poise, since Whitman’s life, for all its breadth and creativity, was an increasingly dynamic, selectively honed pilgrimage into peace."

Chapter 10 - Speak Your Peace from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. "If I could do one thing for my society today, it would be to create community in which everyone was encouraged to speak from the heart, and to listen to the messages of others. I have spent most of my life listening to varieties of justified complaints that no one listens to or understands. Unfortunately, we live in a non-listening, mass-market, person-inattentive society. The emphasis on efficiency, productivity, pleasure, and hurry that pervade society leave little room for building personal relationships around resonant communication of feelings. We live in a society uniquely devoid of conversation about the backdrop of infinite reality, through which every shaft of light that falls on us has passed. We see the tint of this passage everywhere, but we suffer from derealization when we try to speak about its presence in our lives. Yet this cultural repression is changeable, every time we ourselves dare to refer in our talk to the reality always present around us."

The practice of imbibing words of peace will create within you a hum of peace. Syllabic peace sends transforming shafts of sound shivering through its listeners.

Chapter 8 - The Shakers: The Benefits and Limits of Selectivity from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. "The Shakers are an example. Paragons of selectivity, they produced one of the great outpourings of spiritual peace in American history, yet their heritage is masked by an intensely ambivalent reception that speaks to the essential tension which selectivity addresses. The Shakers deserve our attention as exemplars of both the strengths and pitfalls involved in selectivity. Their example highlights how you can intensify your relationship to peace every day via rigorous selectivity, but also how selectivity can be overdone and become paradoxically un-selective. The Shakers command our attention around the question: Just how much selectivity is peace-bearing, and how much is stifling?"

Chapter 7 - Selectivity in Contemporary Lives from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. "In a complex society, a certain level of intricacy must be added into the life of each citizen in order to be able to functionally mesh with multiple social and economic gears. Simplicity in a farmer doesn’t consist in planting a monoculture. Selectivity doesn’t mean constricted, impoverished, or inviable living. Selectivity means conscious choice of what is important, necessary, and salubrious, with conscious relinquishment of what is diluting, distracting, and obfuscating. The choice is personal: live well, plant your crops, be prosperous but not festooned."

Chapter 6 - Selectivity and the American Family from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. "Our children have lost permission to dwell in their spacious reverie of newness. They no longer inhabit the structureless domes of uninterrupted afternoons. In order for us to function efficiently, we need them to be busy. We also—out of well-intended concern—want to prepare them to deal competently with our gadget-dense sphere, so that, almost from the start, children are propelled into a high rhythmic froth. This could be a sprightly animation if it were balanced by an equal but opposite emphasis on inward serenity and outward harmony, which would provide an orchestrating principle, a focus to the swirl, not precluding skillful assertion, but orienting it. The receptive neurology of a child can catch and hold real experiences in contemplative stillness and inner joy."

Chapter 5 - Peace Is Selective from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. "In Part II, I discussed the dynamic quality of peace, the action of returning, like a compass needle to the north. Selecting peace is different, more like writing a song. You quell the sounds of the traffic around you, and a halting tune emerges. If you let it rise and expand, but at the same time contain it, you may happen upon the invisible coherence of melody, which then flows like a stream, bounded and directional. Melody isn’t merely pretty sound, but an organized, integrated channel. You have to push aside distraction—not just noise, but even tangential charm—in order to hear a melody ripple downhill within you."

Chapter 4 - Scott and Helen Nearing from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. "In this section of the book, I am focusing your attention on the need for a dynamic relationship to your mood and your idea of peace. Lifetimes of peace derive from flexible, problem-solving commitments that reassert peace as the core goal in the solution of your current problem, whether that problem be inner or outer, hunger or war. One intriguing example of this dynamic process is the life of Scott and Helen Nearing, organic gardeners who inspired thousands of people to live lives honed by simplicity and peacefulness...."

Chapter 3 - Peace Is Dynamic from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. Cultivating inner peace doesn’t eliminate problems, but it facilitates overcoming them with a particular flavor. You can’t strive for uniform bliss in the name of peace. The pursuit of inner peace is a self-regenerating way of life. As long as we live, we will be spun with demand and action, but we can design an orienting axis of stability within the swirl.

Chapter 1 - The Quest for Inner Peace from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D. The cultivation of inner peace is as rational and orderly as any other aspect of the human condition, and pertains equally to all of us despite our differing starting gates, nervous systems, and life experiences. Out of my own life, and the lives of teachers and friends and those I have been privileged to know professionally, and out of the lives of great souls who left their footprints for us to follow, I would like to provide pragmatic, concrete guidance toward inner peace and radiant harmony. My examples will be drawn from real people, whole lives filled with the dynamic of human suffering and relief. I will tell the stories of people I know (often disguised or over lapped with other people to preserve privacy), or people whose lives are richly documented in historical record. Paul R.

“Everything we see and touch consists of matter rearranged by information and energy. Everything is in connections and bonds. Life, mind, and love, our human nature, have been created in partnership with the rules that run the world.”  -- Paul R. Fleischman, in Wonder: When and Why the World Appears Radiant Dr. Paul R. Fleischman is a writer, retired psychiatrist, and Vipassana meditation teacher, who inhabits the intersection where science, poetry, meditation, and wonder meet -- with an emphasis on wonder. Born in 1945 in Newark, NJ, and inspired to pursue a career in psychiatry from an early age, he obtained a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Chicago, continuing his studies at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and earning a Doctor of Medicine in 1971. He trained in Psychiatry at Yale University where he also served as Chief Resident, and was a psychotherapy supervisor and seminar leader in Psychiatry and Religion. He was in the private practice of psychiatry for over 30 years, and has served as a psychiatric consultant to over half a dozen hospitals and mental health centers. Among the many recognitions garnered throughout his career, are the Oskar Pfister Award, received in 1993 from the American Psychiatric Association for being an “outstanding contributor to the humanistic and spiritual side of psychiatric and medical issues,” and the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award, received in 2018, in recognition of his many years of experience in his professional network, his notable achievements, and his leadership qualities. A retired diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology as well as a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and a member of Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honors Society, Dr. Fleischman has been nominated for a Ford Foundation Fellowship, a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, and has been a Manealof Travel Fellow and a Research Assistant for the United States Public Health Service. In 1974, a meditation course in India under the guidance of Mr. S. N. Goenka initiated him in the technique of Vipassana. In the 1980’s he and his wife Susan began to conduct ten-day courses in the lineage of Mr. S.N. Goenka, and to introduce the technique to professionals and academics in the West. Dr. Fleischman is the author of nine books as well as numerous articles published in magazines and journals including Nature, Landscape, the Yale Review, The International Journal of Social Psychiatry, The American Journal of Psychiatry, and The Journal of Contemplative Psychiatry. As a writer, his work bridges scientific and poetic cosmologies across diverse themes and formats. Selections of his writing have been translated into Spanish, German, Serbian, Farsi, Dutch and Hebrew and his books are available in French and Italian. Karma and Chaos, one of his early books, is a compact collection of eight essays that delve into the connections between psychiatry, science, and the Buddha’s teachings. It was a Book of the Year Finalist with Forward Magazine, and has been translated into French and Italian, and republished in India. His poetry collection, You Can Never Speak Up Too Often/For the Love of All Things, weaves themes of compassion, global awareness, self-exploration, beauty and joy, alongside the shadow of violence, ecological destruction and death. His many other books and monographs include: The Healing Spirit: Religious Issues in Psychotherapy; Cultivating Inner Peace; Spiritual Aspects of Psychiatric Practice; An Ancient Path, and The Buddha Taught Nonviolence, Not Pacifism. His work is also included alongside essays by Mother Teresa and Jimmy Carter in the anthology, The Power of Prayer. Writings, podcasts and lectures by Dr. Fleischman can be found on the Pariyatti site. His most recent work, Wonder: When and Why the World Appears Radiant is his legacy book, "a scientific and literary exploration of discoveries that reveal our deepest identity."  He points to our sense of wonder as the apparatus by which we experience the intelligence of the universe within. "The wonder of the universe is wondering in us,” he writes. And, “To live with wonder one must persevere in unknowing, re-encountering and participating.” With this fluid and energetic engagement with the world, arise a multitude of beneficial qualities. And happily, our guest maintains that wonder can be practiced, preserved, perhaps even augmented with age. In talks delivered across the United States, and internationally, Dr. Fleischman has explored the interplay between science, medicine and meditation, and vividly drawn out the contemporary relevance of ancient paths.  Over the past decade he has lectured at 150 major American universities, most recently at Harvard University, MIT, Brown University, Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, Columbia Teacher’s College, Columbia Health Sciences, Tibet House, and other venues such as Google headquarters. His international engagements have included talks at the University of British Columbia, McGill University, National University of Mexico, University of Tel Aviv, Hadassa University, Israeli Psychiatric Association, University of Grahamstown, South Africa, University Hospital, Brugmann, Brussels, ULB University, Brussels, University of Tarragona, Caixa Forum, Barcelona, London Business School, University of London, and the University of Nijmengen. He lives with his wife Susan in Massachusetts and continues, through his writing and lectures, to integrate a scientific world view with poetic sensibilities, and insights from the path of Vipassana meditation. Join us in conversation with this rigorous thinker, evocative writer, and dedicated teacher and practitioner!
