Episode 722: SHARON SALZBERG (2002)-FAITH: TRUSTING YOUR OWN DEEPEST EXPERIENCE-Finding light in dark times

from Free Forum with Terrence McNally · host Terrence McNally

Here’s my 2002 conversation with SHARON SALZBERG, co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society on her book, FAITH: TRUSTING YOUR OWN DEEPEST EXPERIENCE. Sharon is a New Yorker, and the book is her response to the experience of 9/11. Seems like it might be helpful in our current dark time. Faith in what? Where do we place our faith when the US is beset by cruel authoritarianism and the world by multiple wars and climate driven disasters? Is faith today painfully naive or absolutely necessary in order to fight on?Sharon Salzberg 07-16-2002 Transcript
