Join us for an inspiring conversation with Kaira Jewel Lingo, a Dharma teacher continuing the legacy of engaged Buddhism pioneered by Thich Nhat Hanh. After 15 years as an ordained nun in Thich Nhat Hanh's monastic community of Plum Village, Kaira now shares her wisdom internationally, blending Zen and Vipassana traditions with a focus on BIPOC communities, activists, artists, educators, families, and youth. In this episode we traverse the themes of answering the spiritual call, discerning ends and beginnings, being in service to others, the experience of interconnectedness, and much more. 🧘
