Martin Luther King, Jr. once nominated Thich Nhat Hanh for a Nobel Peace Prize. And now the Vietnamese Zen master and poet is on a North American tour. Our encounter with him a decade ago has left a lasting imprint on us. In this radio pilgrimage, you’ll hear a rare, intimate conversation with him and with others who make use of his practical, lyrical teachings on finding buoyancy and "being peace" in a world of conflict.

Sharon Salzberg + Robert Thurman — Embracing Our Enemies and Our Suffering (Oct 31, 2013)

The discoveries which the physicist Brian Greene spends his life pondering lead to a thrilling, mind-bending view of the cosmos, and of the human adventure of modern science. Think of the certainties many of us grew up learning in school - now overtaken by the constant reimagining of the cosmos that is modern physics. The word “space” to describe what we now understand as a sphere teeming with mysterious energy and matter. In our lifetime the science fiction scenario of parallel universes has become a compelling mathematical possibility. Brian Greene works on this frontier, and he increasingly believes that the deepest realities are hidden from human senses and defy our best intuition.

This unedited interview with Rabbi Lawrence Kushner comes from our produced show "Lawrence Kushner — Kabbalah and the Inner Life of God." 

The Jewish mystical tradition of Kabbalah is a rich, magnetic world of thought and teaching. It has resonance with modern understandings of reality — and describes a cosmic significance to the practical moral call to tikkun olam, "repair the world." Rabbi Lawrence Kushner is a long-time student and articulator of the mysteries and messages of Kabbalah. We speak with him in honor of the 20th-century historian Gershom Scholem, who resurrected this tradition from obscurity and made it accessible to modern people.

And now it’s inspiring millions to reconsider the way they live, parent, and navigate relations with members of the opposite gender.
