Dharma PhD

One practitioner’s four-year journey to become a professional in Mindfulness and Secular Buddhism, without getting all mysterious and solemn about it. Join Shannon M Whitaker, co-host Jeff Street, and guests as we discuss the science, philosophy, culture, and practice of mindfulness: What’s the latest fMRI research actually telling us about the effects of Loving-Kindness on the brain? Why is Loving-Kindness a terrible translation of the Pāli word “Metta”? How are other practitioners navigating their practice in the real world? You won’t get a real PhD from listening to this podcast. But don’t worry, we don’t have one either.

So exciting!

I am thrilled to have found this as a new student of mindfulness who’s also decidedly secular. I have had trouble finding an introduction to some of these concepts, but this host seems to explain them just beautifully while being neither esoteric nor condescending. The banter between her and her cohost is light, entertaining, and very useful for bridging her obviously broad knowledge with his layperson’s curiosity. I am excited for upcoming episodes!
A Bright and Cheerful Take
