A Conversation with Rev. Liên Shutt

Asian American History 101

Welcome to Season 3, Episode 32. Some of the best conversations we have are the ones that make us think. It’s even better when we not only think, but feel we have learned additional strategies for healing and restoration. Today’s conversation is with Rev. Liên Shutt, an insightful and engaging Buddhist leader who strives to make Zen practice accessible to all. Her new book will release on August 22nd. Entitled Home is Here: Practicing Antiracism with the Engaged Eightfold Path, it introduces readers to mindful practices for integrating the Engaged Four Noble Truths and the Engaged Eightfold Path to progress on the path towards healing. Rev. Liên teaches at the Access to Zen Meditation Group, the East Bay Meditation Center, and other Bay Area Groups. In this conversation we talk about the Engaged Four Noble Truths, The Engaged Eightfold Path, the importance of words and reframing, how Home is Here can help with the healing process, intersectionality with the BIPOC and Queer communities, and so much more. We highly recommend going out and getting a copy of Home is Here and attending the upcoming book tour to meet Rev. Liên.
