In this episode, David and I talk about parenting with a Buddhist lens, the challenges of parenting today, and possible expansion and inner peace with mindfulness, and how we can learn from our children, releasing the tight grips placed on us by familial and societal pressures.

is a senior Buddhist teacher who has been practicing and teaching meditation for over 40 years. He was one of the initial American students of renowned Tibetan meditation master Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche and studied closely with him soon after his arrival in the United States in 1970.

He mentors individual students both in person and online, and leads meditation teacher training programs around the world via his Dharma Moon platform.
