Oh, I loved this talk! As a Tibetan Buddhist practitioner who came from the Catholic tradition I've never felt alienated from ritual and longed for it in my new religion. Most American Buddhists seem to feel otherwise it seems. Shaheen and Klein really unpack this topic and share great practical advice and experimental wisdom. Thank you so much for this.

Located on the Tanneron Ridges, the Forêt Du Grand Duc covers 90 hectares and offers beautiful views over the Mediterranean Sea, the Bay of Cannes and the Lérins Islands. 

This recording was made at 6am, about 45 minutes before sunrise. We hear nightingales, robins, blue tits, blackbirds and other common woodland birds.

Ritual is a foundational component of many Buddhist traditions, yet Western Buddhists are often reluctant to engage in ritual practice. According to Buddhist teacher and professor Anne Klein, this resistance can actually be generative. In fact, Klein believes that working with our resistance to ritual can open us to spaces of wonder, liberation, and belonging.

In today’s episode of Tricycle Talks, Tricycle editor-in-chief James Shaheen sits down with Klein to discuss why so many of us are resistant to ritual, the types of freedom that ritual makes possible, and how ritual practices can support us in the face of loneliness and alienation.

Revisiting Ritual with Anne Klein

When Koshin Paley Ellison was just eight years old, he already knew that he wanted to become a Zen Buddhist monk. He began practicing meditation after a karate teacher insisted that he could never be free until he could be still with his pain. Now, Ellison serves as a Zen teacher, chaplaincy educator, and cofounder of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care, and in these roles, he helps others learn to be still with their pain. In his new book, "Untangled: Walking the Eightfold Path to Clarity, Courage, and Compassion," Ellison lays out how Buddhist practice can free us from our destructive patterns and help us access a greater sense of pleasure.

In this episode of Tricycle Talks, Tricycle’s editor-in-chief, James Shaheen, sits down with Ellison to talk about the tangles that ensnare us, the power of learning to become intimate with our suffering, and how every aspect of our lives can become a place of practice.

Always a gamble turning up to 'twitches' in the hope to get sound recordings of the bird, but I had to make the effort when the location is that of Ham Wall, probably one of the most exotic soundtracks the Uk has to offer. I still struggled to get 2 minutes free of people talking or planes going overhead but with some editing this track was by far the best and bonus, I did get a lovely Bittern booming too. 

The bird! well what do I say, I've never heard or seen one of these before as they're rare vagrants to the Uk but safe to say I'll be making the effort again if we ever get another. They sound truly incredible and are so loud!
