A Buddhist Recipe for Handling Turmoil | Kaira Jewel Lingo

<p><em>New episodes come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for free, with 1-week early access for Wondery+ subscribers.</em></p> <p><br /></p> <p>We all know that change is inevitable and impermanence is non-negotiable. But somehow it can feel surprising, maybe even wrong, when we personally hit turbulence. The Buddha had a lot to say about this, and so does our guest. </p> <p><br /></p> <p><strong>Kaira Jewel Lingo</strong> is a Dharma teacher who has a lifelong interest in blending spirituality and meditation with social justice. Having grown up in an ecumenical Christian community where families practiced a new kind of monasticism and worked with the poor, at the age of twenty-five she entered a Buddhist monastery in the Plum Village tradition and spent fifteen years living as a nun under the guidance of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. She received Lamp Transmission from Thich Nhat Hanh and became a Zen teacher in 2007, and is also a teacher in the Vipassana Insight lineage through Spirit Rock Meditation Center. Today she sees her work as a continuation of the Engaged Buddhism developed by Thich Nhat Hanh as well as the work of her parents, inspired by their stories and her dad's work with Martin Luther King Jr. on desegregating the South. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>In addition to writing <a href= "https://www.parallax.org/product/we-were-made-for-these-times/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>We Were Made for These Times: Skilfully Moving through Change, Loss and Disruption</em></a><em>,</em> she is also the editor of Thich Nhat Hanh's <a href= "https://www.parallax.org/product/planting-seeds-practicing-mindfulness-with-children/#product-content" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Planting Seeds: Practicing Mindfulness with Children</em></a>. Now based in New York, she teaches and leads retreats internationally, provides spiritual mentoring, and interweaves art, play, nature, racial and earth justice, and embodied mindfulness practice in her teaching. She especially feels called to share the Dharma with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, as well as activists, educators, youth, artists, and families. Her newest book, co-written with Marisela B.

From Wild Card with Rachel Martin: Taylor Tomlinson

<p>There's a great podcast we want to introduce you to today, hosted by our friend Rachel Martin at NPR. It's her new show, called <a href= "https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510379/wild-card-with-rachel-martin" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Wild Card</em></a>, which she describes as "part-interview, part-existential game show." It's a different way of approaching a celebrity interview, with a special deck of cards that helps shape the conversation. It's a really fun show, and she talks to some really big names, including David Lynch, LeVar Burton, Issa Rae, and US Poet Laureate Ada Limon. </p> <p>Rachel was also a guest on this very podcast recently, and we had a great conversation and even played a little bit of the card game, so go back in your podcast feed and check that out. <a href= "https://www.happierapp.com/podcast/tph/rachel-martin" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">You can also listen to it here. </a></p> <p>The <em>Wild Card</em> episode we're sharing with you today features Taylor Tomlinson, who has found the kind of success many comedians dream about, with multiple Netflix specials and a late-night hosting gig — <em>After Midnight</em> on CBS. She tells Rachel that part of the secret to her success is fear. They also swap stories about their Christian upbringings, the search for validation and getting things stuck up their noses.</p> <p>So enjoy this episode, and check out Wild Card wherever you find your podcasts. </p>

From Ted Talks Daily: The Benefits Of Not Being A Jerk To Yourself

<p>We're introducing you to the <a href= "https://www.ted.com/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target= "_blank">Ted Talks Daily</a> podcast, with an episode featuring our own Dan Harris.

But then an anonymous survey of his family, friends and colleagues turned up some brutal feedback -- he was still kind of a jerk. In a wise, funny talk, he shares his years-long quest to improve his relationships with everyone (starting with himself) and explains the science behind loving-kindness meditation, and how it can boost your resiliency, quiet your inner critic and simply make you more pleasant to be around.</p>
