Sharon Salzberg has had a deep impact on how meditation is practiced in the West. Actually, her influence far surpasses just the meditative community. Her teachings on loving-kindness and the Buddhist heart practices are the foundation of how we discuss kindness and compassion in the West.

Hailing from New York, Sharon studied with some of the most notable teachers of our generation, including S.N. Goenka, Munindra, Dipa Ma, Sayadaw U Pandita, and Mahasi Sayadaw. In addition to bringing the practices of mindfulness to the West in the early years, she championed the practice of metta.

Ajahn Brahm is a senior Thai Forest monk, although his monastery was stripped of its status as an official Thai Forest monastery. We discuss that more in this episode.

His teachings center on his idea of the “beautiful breath.” Unlike the first three episodes of the series, Ajahn Brahm focuses on jhana, or states of deep concentration. His teaching style is humorous, light-hearted, and centers on letting go.
