Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Paths of Practice with Daisy Lin
Q: What drew you to Mountain Cloud Zen Center and the Los Angeles Compassionate Heart Sangha, given your roots with Thich Nhat Hanh groups?
Mountain Cloud offered a structured meditation backbone with regular sits and a teacher-guided approach, which I valued after moving to New Mexico and seeking a community with a formal lineage. The LA group provided a peer-led, compassionate environment rooted in Thich Nhat Hanh's practices, offering different but complementary pathways to cultivation.
Paths of Practice with Daisy Lin
Q: Where would you say that your journey with Buddhism began?
Raised Christian, I found Buddhism during a time of personal crisis through a friend who introduced me to a sangha. The Sanha provided relief and support, eventually leading me to deeper practices with Zen and koans, and to a lifelong path of study and service.
Paths of Practice with Monica C. Mann-Wrobel, PhD
Q: What advice would you give to someone starting their Buddhist journey?
Expect a long, non-linear journey; change is gradual, not instantaneous. Be patient, honor your feelings, and recognize that mindfulness reveals both challenges and deep benefits, making self-compassion a radical act of care.
Paths of Practice with Monica C. Mann-Wrobel, PhD
Q: How has mindfulness practice influenced your approach to parenting and family life?
Mindfulness deepened over the last decade, especially through the Mindful Families of Durham community, helping both the guest and their family manage emotions, triggers, and upbringing with compassion and structure.
Paths of Practice with Monica C. Mann-Wrobel, PhD
Q: What made you pursue a focus on veterans and their well-being within clinical psychology?
The clinical path, including training at the VA and work with severe mental illness, naturally connected to veterans' needs; ACT and mindfulness later became central modalities that aligned with helping veterans navigate trauma and daily functioning.
