The Weekend Listener: 3 Great Interviews

 

03.11.2022 THE WEEKEND LISTENER: 3 GREAT INTERVIEWS This weekend, we’d like to 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 those exclusive interviews that offer a little something for everyone. Listen as Rod Meade Sperry talks to neuroscientist Dr. Amishi Jha about cultivating the power of attention, Chris Pacheco sits down with psychotherapist Bruce Tift to learn how to work with anxiety, and Pamela Ayo Yetunde chats with Buddhist monk and makeup artist Kodo Nishimura about the dharma and beauty of drag.

Cultivating the Power of Attention with Amishi Jha Dr. Amishi Jha, author of the new book Peak Mind, talks about the natural capacity we have to cultivate our attention and how you can function at your peak for the things that really matter in life.

The Passing of Thich Nhat Hanh and “This Monk Wears Heels” with Kodo Nishimura In this episode of The Lion’s Roar Podcast, we reflect on the death of one of the greatest Buddhist teachers of our time, and preview the new issue of Lion’s Roar magazine. Then makeup artist, monk, and author of This Monk Wears Heels, Kodo Nishimura tells Pamela Ayo Yetunde how even makeup and drag can be an expression of the dharma.

Anxiety and What to Do About It with Bruce Tift Anxiety can be a pretty reasonable response to times of wide spread disease, environmental disaster, social unrest and polarization. Associate editor Chris Pacheco talks to Bruce Tift, psychotherapist and author of Already Free: Buddhism Meets Psychotherapy on the Path of Liberation, about attempting to control feelings of anxiety, why that only makes it worse, and what to do instead.
