  • Dharma and comedy

    Rinpoche is an excellent teacher! There’s so much overlap between comedy and dharma. I should know. I was a stand-up for over a decade! I wrote about it on joy.tergar.org/blog

  • Wonderful informal conversation

    I really enjoyed this informal conversational style interview with Rinpoche-la. I felt like I got to know him a little better. Justin and Kunsang asked very engaging, real-world questions, and the 55 minute podcast seemed to fly by. Thank you. 🙏❤️🙏

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 7: Bill and Susan Morgan — Lighting Up the Moment (Bringing heart and play into daily practice)
Q: How have you balanced the demanding, traditional forms of practice with the need for warmth and play?
They explain moving from a hard, intense practice to a softer, embodied approach that includes heart, body, and relational awareness, while maintaining discipline through routines like retreats and The Daily Sit.
Ep. 7: Bill and Susan Morgan — Lighting Up the Moment (Bringing heart and play into daily practice)
Q: What does applying the Dharma in everyday life mean to you, particularly as clinicians?
They describe no separation between retreat and daily life, and emphasize turning every transaction into a moment where someone feels seen, thus lighting up the moment and the heart.
Ep. 6: Susan Kaiser Greenland — Real World Enlightenment (Mindfulness for Kids & Everyday Life)
Q: What is the central idea behind serving the child in front of you?
The concept centers on attuning to each child's current needs, personality, and context, adjusting activities accordingly, and avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach; it's about gradual, patient teaching and building on what already exists in the child's behavior.
Ep. 6: Susan Kaiser Greenland — Real World Enlightenment (Mindfulness for Kids & Everyday Life)
Q: What does applying the dharma in daily life mean to you?
She describes it as a process-oriented, experiential approach that emphasizes awareness, love, compassion, wisdom, and joy, while acknowledging that mastery is never perfect and that living these qualities in everyday actions is the ongoing aim.
Ep 4: Roshi Joan Halifax — Practice, Activism, and Meeting Death with an Open Heart
Q: Could you say more about how you personally balance this inner contemplative life with your activist work?
I see social action and contemplation as intertwined, both informing and enriching each other.
