Su questo episodio

<p dir="ltr">When it comes to your demons, your baggage, you have a choice: transform or transmit.</p> <p dir="ltr">Sister Dang Nghiem, MD, ("Sister D") was born in 1968 in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive, the daughter of a Vietnamese mother and an American soldier. She lost her mother at the age of twelve and immigrated to the United States at the age of seventeen with her brother. Living in various foster homes, she learned English and went on to earn a medical degree from the University of California – San Francisco. After suffering further tragedy and loss, she quit her practice as a doctor to travel to Plum Village monastery in France founded by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, where she was ordained a nun in 2000, and given the name Dang Nghiem, which means adornment with nondiscrimination. She is the author of a memoir, Healing: A Woman's Journey from Doctor to Nun (2010), and Mindfulness as Medicine: A Story of Healing and Spirit (2015).</p> <p dir="ltr">In this episode we talk about:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">The "beginning anew" practice:  what it is, plus why and how it helps. </li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Is focusing on yourself self-indulgent?</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">The four kinds of people, according to the buddha</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">The concept of "soulmate" in a Buddhist context</li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">Related Episodes:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <h2 dir="ltr" role="presentation"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;"><a href= "https://www.danharris.com/p/buddhist-strategies-for-reducing-91d?utm_source=publication-search"> Buddhist Strategies For Reducing Everyday Addictions (To Your Phone, Food, Booze, And More) | Sister Dang Nghiem</a></span></h2> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 12pt;" aria-level="1"> <h2 dir="ltr" role="presentation"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;"><a href= "https://www.danharris.com/p/this-episode-will-make-you-stronger-a48?utm_source=publication-search"> This Episode Will Make You Stronger | Sister Dang Nghiem</a></span></h2> </li> <li dir="ltr" style="font-size: 12pt;" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;"><strong>"<a href= "https://www.danharris.com/p/being-enough?utm_source=publication-search">I am enough</a>"</strong> (guided meditation by Sister D)</span></p> </li> </ul> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Join Dan's online community <a href= "http://www.danharris.com/">here</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Follow Dan on social: <a href= "https://bit.ly/3tGigG5">Instagram</a>, <a href= "https://bit.ly/3FOA84J">TikTok</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Subscribe to our <a href= "https://bit.ly/3FybRzD">YouTube Channel</a></p> <p><strong><br /> <br /></strong></p> <p dir="ltr">On Sunday, September 21st from 1-5pm ET, join Dan and Leslie Booker at the New York Insight Meditation Center in NYC as they lead a workshop titled, "Heavily Meditated – The Dharma of Depression + Anxiety."
