Christian Jochnik talks about regenerative agriculture this week. He is a former banker who changed his life radically and bought a piece of land in Ibiza. He now dedicates his days with his team of 20 people to regenerative farming and local food production. At Juntos farm, they are growing fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains and legumes. They produce compost and seedling and manage over a hundred goats. We'll discuss small-scale farming, certification, fertilizers, trust in organic and data…Nothing in this show should be used as medical advice or encouragement to use drugs.[2:24] - What's the goal of regenerative agriculture? Instead of having an extracting system, we should have a system feeding the ecosystem.[4:19] - How does he fight against pests? Nature regulates itself very well. Does he need chemicals sometimes?[7:11] - Why is there so much resistance when discussing regenerative agriculture?[10:14] - What was the intention when buying this land in Ibiza? It's so obvious that spreading poison on food is not healthy.[12:13] - Christian wants to be a profitable and successful model with data. With the financial challenges farmers are facing, we need to prove that it's a profitable business. [16:41] - The actual model of large-scale agriculture is wrong, we need a transition to small-scale and diversified farms, even if it's expensive and hard work. That's why Christian is investing in shared infrastructures. [20:51] - Are people ready to pay for quality? Yes, for Christian, it's a market failure. [22:00] - What is the problem of trust regarding organic? This is a fundamental problem for Christian. [23:44] - Data is what is going to make the big companies change. It will not be a question of trust anymore but of data. [27:50] - Christian is not a typical farmer. He has always loved nature, but worked as an investment banker in London before buying his land in Ibiza. [30:55] - Harvest of the Day : if something easy or simple could make the world a better place, what would it be for Christian?In two weeks, we will release Bob Thurman and Thupten Jinpa's interview in Kaplankaya. They are eminent tibetan buddhist scholars who met a long time ago, but it will be their first podcast together ever.

And tempered with, you know, important fundamental human values that we share. And if we broadly mean this by the word contemplative, then clearly, this is something that needs to be, you know, brought into any education system across the world. Because, even though you may speak different languages, may live in different parts of the world. But when it comes to fundamental human reality, we are all sharing this one small planet, which is now facing existential threat from climate crisis, as well as, you know, the pressures of globalization, putting on all of us to really find a way to live where peaceful coexistence based on mutual respect and understanding becomes an important part of our challenge, important part of the requirement, if we want to save the world, you know.

In this episode we will be delving into how we can start to let go of overthinking and instead start furthering our ability to pay attention in the present and cultivate the grounding attitude with four simple steps while also looking at gratitude. I will share some words of wisdom from my favorite mindfulness guru's and take you through a guided meditation. Challenge: Today I would like to challenge you to add to your daily reflection journal, write down three things from your day today that you are grateful for. Try to be as specific as you can about what it is and why you feel grateful. If you continue with this practice, try to vary what you write every day as this has been shown as having a greater effect.

It can be incredibly frustrating when life-changing, world-changing concepts such as compassion and kindness are often presented as cliches, because scientific research strongly suggests that learning how to practice compassion -- through meditation and other modalities -- can genuinely change your life. And enough of us did it, it could maybe change the world.  One of the people who is the best at getting this message out, in new and creative ways, is Thupten Jinpa. He is a former Tibetan monk who went on to go to Cambridge University, where he got a B.A. in philosophy and a Ph.D. in religious studies. Since 1985, he has been the principal English translator for His Holiness the Dalai Lama.  In this conversation, we talk about developing a compassionate meditation practice, building kindness and empathy, the connection between intention setting and compassion, and identifying and regulating negative emotional reactions.  A few technical notes: This episode is a rerun. We do reruns when we have episodes that are amazing that we think our newer listeners might enjoy. We also do them to give our staff a break once in a while. We actually recorded this conversation live in front of an audience at the Asia Society in New York City a few years ago. It was the day after the school shooting in Parkland, so you will hear a few references to that.  Check out Joseph Goldstein's course on compassion in the Ten Percent Happier app: https://10percenthappier.app.link/CompassionWithJoseph Full Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/thupten-jinpa-repost

What do Buddhists believe actually believe what happens when we are reincarnated? 'Meditations On Living, Dying And Loss' by an assorted collection of people including Graham Coleman, Gyurme Dorje, Thupten Jinpa (my man!!!) & the Dalai Lama. It is an examination of some select sections from the larger work of 'The Tibetan Book Of The Dead'. It begins with a bit of history & multiple intros from the editors & Dalai Lama. It's a short book with each section attempting to provide insight on the Buddhist philosophy of reincarnation and how to deal with the death of loved ones.I summarised the book as follows. "I found this eminently forgettable as a whole. Most of the prefaces were useful but on their own the passages of text are unclear and vague. There was a lot of repetition and I think it might require the whole framework of the religion (chants, clothing, incense, culture, buildings, etc.,) to really make sense."As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!Timeline:(0:00) - Synopsis(3:12) - The Big Picture: Why Buddhism is true(4:12) - The Small Details: Why Buddhism (probably) isn't true(7:24) - Personal Observations(8:28) - Summary(9:35) - Pragmatic Takeaway: Prepare myself for some potentially boring readingConnect with Mere Mortals:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/Support the show

En este capítulo de nuestro Círculo de Lectura estaremos hablando y reflexionando sobre el libro “Anatomía del Corazón” de Thupten Jinpa. Este libro nos invita a iniciar un camino de desarrollo humano bajo una doctrina que te permite entender a la COMPASIÓN como un lugar donde puedes llegar a relacionarte contigo mismo desde la compresión, la bondad y la aceptación; para después marcar un espacio real y auténtico con los demás. ⠀⠀ El libro busca marcar una diferencia en tu vibración con la vida, el encontrar la felicidad basada en la presencia y en la aceptación real y auténtica de tu presente, para poder sentir paz y tranquilidad desde el corazón. ⠀⠀ “Que yo sea feliz, que yo tenga paz y tranquilidad, que yo esté libre de sufrimiento” será la oración clave para lograr una disciplina en la conexión contigo mismo. Y te llevará a un estado de conciencia con tu entorno y con los demás. ⠀⠀ Me encantaría saber que es para ti lo más relevante de esta filosofía, que compartas conmigo que fue para ti leer este libro y cómo vas a vivir la compasión desde tu propio universo. ⠀⠀ Nuestra página web: https://www.coachingqueretaro.com.mx/ Nuestro WhatsApp: https://bit.ly/3mmO8GU

In this moving episode of Tibet Talks, Geshe Thupten Jinpa, a Buddhist scholar and the primary English translator for the Dalai Lama, joins ICT to celebrate the 31st anniversary of His Holiness' Nobel Peace Prize. The conversation also touches on the reindeer ride His Holiness took on that glorious day in Oslo, Norway in 1989.

The conversation also touches on the reindeer ride His Holiness took on that glorious day in Oslo, Norway in 1989.

Dr. Thupten Jinpa of Stanford Medicine's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE), said compassion is a hallmark of strong leadership: “Compassion, personal integrity, humility, being open to others’ perspectives yet taking responsibility to lead, all rooted in courage and a quiet confidence—these are the marks of truly great leaders.” 

At a time when work has become more challenging than ever, we're going to explore one myth and one revelation. The myth -- which many of us, myself included, have consciously or subconsciously incorporated into our lives — is that we need to grind ourselves into dust through faux “productivity” in order to achieve professional success. The revelation is that the more effective -- and cleaner burning -- fuel is that potentially sappy notion of finding your purpose. My guest is Leah Weiss, who has impressive bona fides on both the professional and contemplative fronts. She teaches Compassionate Leadership at Stanford Graduate School of Business, and she wrote a book called How We Work. She's also done four 100-day retreats and one 6-month retreat. This conversion was recorded pre-pandemic, but is deeply relevant nonetheless. And toward the end of the conversation, she drops some words that have been rattling around in my head for months.

Get Up Nation®! My name is Ben Biddick, the Creator and Host of the Get Up Nation® Podcast and Co-Author of Get Up: The Art of Perseverance with former Major League Baseball player Adam Greenberg. Recently I had the honor and privilege of speaking with Dr. John Eric Baugher, the author of Contemplative Caregiving: Finding Healing, Compassion, and Spiritual Growth Through End-of-Life Care. John has been a contemplative educator, social science researcher, and end-of-life caregiver for more than two decades. Dr. Baugher consults and offers workshops internationally on spiritual care, grief, and transformation, and contemplative learning. John’s website is www.johnericbaugher.com. There you will see 2 quotes. One from Thupten Jinpa, the Principal Translator of the Dalai Lama that reads “Our families, hospitals, prisons, and whole society can benefit from the vision of compassion offered by John Baugher.” The second quote reads “Baugher pioneers for us the very outer frontiers of human empathy” from Arlie Hochschild, a finalist for the National Book Award. Dr. Baugher’s mission is to “support those who suffer and those who care with teachings on the practice of compassionate caregiving. His vision is to create “a world where compassion for all is the foundation of human culture and social systems.” I feel very honored to be speaking with John today and to learn his insights and perspective on how we as individuals, organizations, and societies can develop and sustain resilience as we are confronted with the reality of death and seek to ease suffering during our experience of life.

I’m humbled and honored to welcome Thupten Jinpa to the donothing podcast. Born to displaced Tibetan refugees, Jinpa was raised in India. At just 11, he decided to become a monk and join a monastery. While there, he was connected with His Holiness (H.H.) the Dalai Lama as a new translator. Jinpa has been the Dalai Lama’s principal translator since 1985.   After over a decade in the Tibetan monastic order, Jinpa left to pursue a B.A. in philosophy and a Ph.D. in religious studies, both from Cambridge University—all with an emphasis on compassion studies. He achieved both and also holds the Geshe Lharam degree.   Today, Jinpa is the founder and president of the Compassion Institute, the Chair of Mind and Life Institute, founder of the Institute of Tibetan Classics, and an adjunct professor at the School of Religious Studies at McGill University. He’s also the main author of CCT (Compassion Cultivation Training), an eight-week formal program developed at Stanford University.    Over the years, Jinpa’s translated and edited numerous books by the Dalai Lama including the New York Times Bestsellers, Ethics for the New Millennium, and The Art of Happiness. He’s also written several works of his own including Mind Training: The Great Collection, Self, Reality, and Reason in Tibetan Philosophy, A Fearless Heart: How the Courage to be Compassionate Can Transform Our Lives and co-authored Dispelling the Darkness: A Jesuit’s Quest for the Soul of Tibet.   In this episode of the donothing podcast, you’ll learn:   Why Jinpa believes in setting intentions What Jinpa’s daily meditation practice looks like When Jinpa learned how to speak English What Jinpa’s first experience with the Dalai Lama was like as a child Why his father was against Jinpa becoming a monk Which questions potential monks have to answer before being accepted How monastic debates work WhatJinpa’s time as a Tibetan monk in India was like How Jinpa first started translating for the Dalai Lama What advice Jinpa received when he began training for this role Jinpa’s initial thoughts about Europe and then, the U.S. What made Jinpa decide to leave the monastic life behind Why it was so hard to tell the Dalai Lama he was leaving the monastery  What the Dalai Lama’s reaction to Jinpa’s decision was How Jinpa was accepted to Cambridge University Why Jinpa focused his studies on compassion How science explains the benefits of mindfulness Why Jinpa established the Compassion Institute What advice the Dalai Lama gave Jinpa about starting the Compassion Institute Why the Compassion Institute promotes only non-religious, universal practices What Jinpa sees for the future of the Institute Why Jinja pushes to promote science and research-backed practices What Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) is Why leaders will benefit from practicing compassion How compassion decreases burnout  Why compassion emerges during certain events and hides during others How training will elevate compassion not just during hard times—but all times Why just seconds of compassion can change everything And so much more...   Connect Jinpa and the Compassion Institute Website: www.compassioninstitute.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stanfordccare Twitter: https://twitter.com/CCARE YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ccarestanford Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stanfordccare/   Also, watch out for a 6-part online course, Building Compassion From Inside Out, to be offered at www.compassioninstitute.com   Order Jinpa’s Books Mind Training: The Great Collection https://amzn.to/2kPKIlZ Dispelling the Darkness: A Jesuit’s Quest for the Soul of Tibet, with Donald S.

Thurman from Tse Chen Ling Center in San Francisco celebrates the 600th anniversary of the enlightenment of Tsongkhapa. Opening  with personal reflections upon “The Year of Tsongkhapa”, Robert A.F. Thurman uses the miss-titled “Tibetan Book of The Dead” core teaching of infinite interconnected, past and future lives to frame his exploration of the life, work and teachings of Je Tsongkhapa and gives an in-depth teaching on his historical importance and impact upon Buddhism, Tibet and philosophy. Podcast includes a reading of the first Panchen Lama Khedrup Gelek Pelzang’s account of Tsongkhapa’s attainment of the magic body and manifestation of Manjushri during his enlightenment, a discussion of the use of spiritual consorts, Karmamudra, the history of the different schools, sects and “orders” within Pre-Invasion Tibet and a recommendation of the forthcoming biography of Tsongkhapa by Thupten Jinpa by Wisdom Publications.   About Lama Tsongkhapa and “International Year of Tsongkhapa” ​Je Tsongkhapa Lobsang Drakpa (1357-1419) was one of the greatest scholar-practitioners in the history of Tibetan Buddhism and the founder of the Gelug tradition. While still a young man, Tsongkhapa distinguished himself through intense study, a sharp intellect and meditative accomplishment. In the last three decades of his life, Tsongkhapa dedicated himself to practice, teaching, writing and establishing monasteries. Respected by all four schools of Tibetan Buddhism, Lama Tsongkhapa’s deeds contributed tremendously to the revitalization of Buddhism in Tibet. On December 30th, 2018, the 104th Ganden Tripa Lobsang Tenzin, the supreme head of the Gelug lineage of Tibetan Buddhism proclaimed that 2019 will be “International Year of Tsongkhapa.” “I call upon all Gelukpas and well-wishers to render their support to spreading awareness of the eloquent teachings and writings of the great Master Tsongkhapa throughout the world. I encourage Geluk monasteries, centers, organizers, individuals and admirers of Master Tsongkhapa worldwide to initiate special activities throughout the year of 2019 to commemorate (the) 600th anniversary of the great master and to inspire beings to follow in his footsteps.” Ganden Tri Rinpoche   This week’s episode’s of the Bob Thurman Podcast was brought to you in part through the support of the Tibet House US Membership Community and Menla Retreat and Dewa Spa in Phoenicia, New York and Wisdom Publications.

Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche was born to a farming family in Tibet in 1976. He entered the Sowa Monastery at age six, and at age eleven, he went to the Nangzi Bön Monastery, where he studied Dzogchen. Tulku Lobsang was identified by the oracle of Tibet as the incarnation of the master teacher, Tulku Nyentse, and at age thirteen he was enthroned as the eighth incarnation of this master teacher. Tulku Lobsang has received teachings in all of the Tibetan Buddhist traditions, and teaches and lectures throughout the world on the subjects of Tibetan Medicine, Buddhism, and Astrology. In part one of this two-part episode, Tulku Lobsang discusses his childhood, his imprisonment by the Chinese, and his daring escape from Tibet. He explains what it means to be a Tulku, or reincarnated master, and how he was enthroned at the age of thirteen. Also discussed are the benefits of Tibetan medicine and a form of Tibetan exercise known as Lu Jong, which helps to release blockages in the body.

Their conversation was recorded on Feb. 15, 2018, one day after 17 people were killed when a gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

This month Laura reaches back into the Sacred Stream archives for an interview she did with Thupten Jinpa when he was on his book tour for A Fearless Heart. The interview was impromptu and took place at Laura’s kitchen table, where she talked to Jinpa about his work with H.H. Dalai Lama, CCare, the Compassion Studies, and his perspective on generating more compassion in the world. This episode also contains a talk Jinpa gave at the Sacred Stream Center on Language and Reality.

February 23, 2009 | The field of neuroscience has emerged as one of the most promising and potentially fruitful areas for engagement between Buddhism and modern science. Ongoing conversations between scientists and Buddhist scholars, many featuring the personal participation of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, have moved from the realm of theoretical discussion into actual clinical research. Today, rigorous experiments involve Buddhist monks not simply as subjects to be investigated but as active participants in the design of experimental protocols. These collaborations expand the conceptual frameworks within which we examine and understand mental phenomena. During this talk, Geshe Thupten Jinpa reviewed the current state of the field, which some have dubbed "contemplative science," and raised critical questions pertaining to this enterprise. What is the status of the big questions like karma and rebirth in this dialogue? Can Buddhism and science ever agree on the understanding of the nature of consciousness? Can this dialogue expand the horizons of science, both in terms of its method and regulative principles, when it comes to the study of our mental life? Geshe Thupten Jinpa has served as the principal translator for the Dalai Lama for over twenty years. He earned the prestigious Geshe Lharampa degree from the Ganden Monastic University and a Ph.D. in Religious Studies from Cambridge University. Jinpa is presently an adjunct professor at the Faculty of Religious Studies at McGill University and a Visiting Scholar at the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research at Stanford University's School of Medicine. In addition to translating and editing many books by the Dalai Lama, Jinpa is the founding director of the Institute of Tibetan Classics. His own publications include Self, Reality and Reason in Tibetan Philosophy: Tsongkhapa's Quest for the Middle Way (2002), Mind Training: The Great Collection (2005), and The Book of Kadam: The Core Texts (2008).

Thupten Jinpa may be best known for being the Dalai Lama's longtime English-language translator. But now Jinpa is working to get his own message across. In his new book, "A Fearless Heart," Jinpa touches on the course in compassion training he helped create at Stanford University -- one that has been shown to make people happier, healthier and better able to regulate their emotions.

Thupten Jinpa, HH The Dalai Lama’s English translator, is our truly honored guest. Anyone who has been present at any one of His Holiness’s live events knows how vibrant and deep Jinpa’s translations always are. Jinpa’s new book, “A Fearless Heart: How The Courage To Be Compassionate Can Transform Our Lives” totally knocked out the Mindrollers, and we are so very pleased to visit with him on the podcast. Just check out Jinpa’s markedly unpretentious yet potent teachings on the real nature of compassion.

Years of traveling worldwide, translating for the Dalai Lama,  THUPTEN JINPA has experienced an extraordinary consciousness to compassion which has  been developed into a landmark course at the Stanford School of Medicine. A Fearless Heart is his book.

The Year My Mother Came Back: Mother-daughter relationships are complex and diverse - as are many Mother-son relationships. Some mothers and daughters/sons are best friends. Others talk once a week. Some see each other weekly; others live in different states or countries. Some spar regularly. Some avoid conflict. Others talk through everything. And undoubtedly, there’s a hint of all these things in most relationships. But whatever your relationship is with your Mother, there are always new ways to make improvements!!! As we approach Mother’s Day, here’s a chance to talk to author Alice Eve Cohen about her new book, THE YEAR MY MOTHER CAME BACK….where she explores mother-daughter relationships with such warmth and honesty that you can’t help apply their lessons learned to your own!

This week the history of the world as told through one hundred objects is looking at how the world's great religions began trying to find the perfect way to visually express the divine, less than 2000 years ago. Today, Neil MacGregor looks at how a stone sculpture from modern day Pakistan can tell us about how Buddhism set about creating the classic image to represent the real life Buddha who lived and roamed around North India in the 5th Century BC. It was not until over five hundred years later when the classic seated image of the Buddha was first formulated. Before then the Buddha was represented only by symbols. How did the Buddha image come about and why do we need such images? The Dalai Lama's official translator, Thupten Jinpa, and the historian Claudine Bautze-Picron help explain.
