Episode 8, Series 1: "Embracing Life with Wisdom & Compassion"
Featuring: Roshi Joan Halifax, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, and Alejandro Chaoul-Reich
To be truly generous of spirit, we must loosen our attachments — not only to what we are giving, but also to our expectations for an outcome. What is the true meaning of generosity? How can we know if it’s spontaneous or effortful? What are the benefits of giving from the heart? Are there healthier forms of attachment or detachment? Our esteemed panelists discuss the how’s and why’s of living a compassionate, generous life, through to life’s end.

In advance of the broadcast Rinpoche encourages creating a bit of space for meditation in your house — in a quiet, peaceful location where you can feel some sense of warmth and connection to yourself. You might provide a comfortable cushion to sit on, and a candle or stick of incense. A supportive outer space can support your inner space during meditation.
