123 - Losang Samten is a world-renowned Tibetan scholar, former Buddhist Monk, and Spiritual Director of the Tibetan Buddhist Center of Philadelphia. In 1988, Samten came to the US as instructed by His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, to demonstrate the meditative art of sand painting. Since then, he has traveled the world extensively teaching the ancient Buddhist philosophies and how they are applicable in the modern world.
Losang Samten joins the podcast for a heart-warming conversation on the art of mindfulness practice, his journey from fleeing Tibet as a refugee to eventually coming to the United States, and how we can all begin to cultivate greater self-compassion in our daily lives. Losang leads the listeners in a gentle mindfulness meditation practice to conclude the episode.
