The Weekend Listener

 

08.27.2021 THE WEEKEND LISTENER This weekend, we thought we’d invite you to take a break from reading and just listen. Since its launch, The Lion’s Roar Podcast has hosted a variety of exclusive interviews with fascinating Buddhist teachers, thinkers, and practitioners. We’ve also shared teachings, dharma-inspired music, and plenty of guided practices.   Below, you’ll find three of our most listened to episodes. Listen as Buddhist teacher, author, and activist Lama Rod Owens explores what it means to let go of the person you are, Zen priest Rev. Cristina Moon responds to the rise in anti-Asian violence, and psychologist and author Rick Hanson shares how to change your brain for the better.     If you're looking for more of The Lion’s Roar Podcast, you can subscribe on iTunes, Spotify, and Stitcher.   Happy listening!
