Sangha Summer Podcast Playlist
Summer is here and we may find ourselves with more time on our hands to rest and recuperate. Soooo, we asked some sangha member for their favorite podcasts. Here are their recommendations:
LAURA: The Four Mind-Turning Reflections - Dhammadinna
Why? It's a wonderful reminder (pardon the pun) how fragile and impermanent our lives are and knowing this, fosters deep gratitude within.
TODD: 15 minutes of Femme - Meditation and Mental Health with Todd!
Why? It's the only podcast Todd has done
UPAYADHI: Imperfect Buddha - Podcast 49, with Donald Lopez
Why? A critical look at Buddhist studies and a sweet moment of exploration into his actual practice.
MARK: Windhorse Publications - Bikkhu Analayo and the Buddhist Roots of Mindfulness
Why? A revealing and refreshing take on Mindfulness.
ANGE: Dr Ambedkar and Sangharakshita - Nagabodhi
Why? I love this story because it inspires me with the remarkable lives and work of Dr Ambedkar, Sangharakshita and Nagabodhi.
ANANTA: On Being - Seeking Language Large Enough with David Whyte
Why? A beautifully poetic conversation about life and reality
MOIRA: Rob Burbea - This matter of emptiness.
Why? This talk does a great job unpacking emptiness and how Absolutely everything, including consciousness and awareness is fabricated and concocted.
PADMADHARINI: Mind & Life Podcast - Lisa Feldman Barrett "Your Emotions aren't what you think"
Why? This podcast explores the neuro-science of how the mind is simulating and fabricating experience.
BONUS TRACK: Radiolab - Debatable
Why? A favorite of Ananta's and Upayadhi's. A fascinating case of questioning pre-given assumptions. A queer, black, first-generation college student challenges the rules of how debate is debated.
