Mindfulness teacher, Kaira Jewel Lingo, chats with David Nichtern about the power of spiritual community and self-assessment. “Guru and student are not separate. Buddha and disciple are not separate. We all have awakened nature, we all can transform. The community is the Buddha. The community is the teacher. We, together, create this force field that is so powerful because we are not operating as individuals.” – Kaira Jewel Lingo In this episode, David and Kaira discuss: The practice of sharing appreciations and regrets Community support within nunneries and monasteries Co-regulating the nervous system to mitigate conflict Social change and recognizing our shared humanity Doing the inner work to have a bigger impact on the world Living simply and being aligned with our purpose Using resources to build a better future Neuroscience & Buddhism Kaira’s upcoming books and events “There needs to be inner work for outer work to really have an impact.” – Kaira Jewel Lingo ================ We Were Made for These Times with Kaira Jewel Lingo & David Nichtern – CSM Podcast Ep. 47 - https://youtu.be/mfss3GBvQF0 David Nichtern – CSM Podcast – Ep. 47 – We Were Made for These Times with Kaira Jewel Lingo - https://beherenownetwork.com/(insert slug) ================ Make sure not to miss a single video podcast from Be Here Now Network!
