The Hidden Truth I Learned as a Monk About Teaching Mindfulness
When I first started teaching mindfulness, I thought I had to sound wise, calm, and enlightened — like a “real” teacher.
But one unexpected moment — in a tiny community room in Berkeley — changed everything I thought I knew about guiding others in mindfulness.
In this episode, I share the hidden truth I discovered after years living as a Buddhist monk in Thailand and training more than 30,000 mindfulness teachers around the world:
that teaching mindfulness is actually much simpler than most of us realize.
You’ll hear:
🪶 The surprising moment that transformed the way I teach mindfulness
🪶 A profound lesson from my Thai Forest teacher that changed how I see presence
🪶 The biggest mistake new teachers make — and how to avoid it
🪶 Why your humanity and imperfection are your greatest teaching tools
If you’ve ever wondered, “Who am I to teach mindfulness?” — this episode is for you.
By the end, you’ll see that mindfulness teaching isn’t about perfection… it’s about presence.
