This episode of The Lion’s Roar Podcast features Upaya Zen Center founder and head teacher Roshi Joan Halifax, and longtime student of the Buddhist nun Ayya Khema, Leigh Brasington.
Roshi Joan Halifax, Upaya Zen Center founder and head teacher, offers two prayers for the New Year–or any time of the year. Then, the editor of a posthumous release from the trailblazing modern Buddhist nun and teacher, Ayya Khema, talks about the “force of nature” that she was–her adventurous life, her teachings on metta (loving-kindness) and her practices. Editor Leigh Brasington, who practiced and trained with her, also leads a practice in the Ayya Khema style.
