This week, we’re talking with Pomona College Professor of Religious Studies Zhiru Ng, who specializes in Eastern religions. Our conversation with Professor Ng ranges from her childhood in Singapore and the importance—and burden—of filial piety in Chinese culture to the concept of emptiness, the stages of meditation and the power of Buddhist thought as a way of relating to the world.
