For episode 230 of the Metta Hour, Sharon sits down with her longtime friend, teacher and author, Roshi Joan Halifax, Ph.D.
Roshi is a Buddhist teacher, the founder and head teacher of the Upaya Zen Center in Santa Fe, NM, a social activist, author, and in her early years was an anthropologist. She is also a pioneer in the field of end-of-life care. Some of her books include: The Human Encounter with Death (with Stanislav Grof) and her most recent, Standing at the Edge: Finding Freedom Where Fear and Courage Meet, and the 2023 card deck from Shambala Publications, In a Moment, In a Breath.
In this episode, Sharon and Roshi discuss:
• The impetus for Roshi’s new card deck
• How Roshi came to contemplative practice
• The impact of COVID on inner life
• Deconstructing being a beginner
• How the elements correlate to Roshi’s card deck
• Grounding into the body
• The nuanced work of caregivers
• The Brahma Viharas
• Equanimity as a form of inclusiveness
• Using ideology to avoid feeling
• Strong back, soft front
• Not cultivating a mind of poverty
• Radical Inclusion
• Watering the good seeds
• Ram Dass in his last years
• Space and wisdom
Roshi closes the conversation with a short guided meditation on Ocean Mind.
