Guided Drawing Meditation with John Simon Jr. #208
Épisode 208
mardi 11 novembre 2025 • Durée 21:21
In this guided meditation and drawing practice, artist and teacher John Simon Jr. leads us through a series of exercises designed to connect inner awareness with mark-making on paper. Blending Buddhist principles with intuitive art, this session invites you to notice your sensations, thoughts, and environment while allowing your hand to move freely. No art experience is needed, just a willingness to observe, let go, and explore.

Drawing As Meditation with John Simon Jr. #207
Épisode 207
mardi 4 novembre 2025 • Durée 38:06
On this podcast, we talk a lot about meditation, but it’s far from the only way to connect with the deepest part of yourself and build a stable, joyful mind. There are so many other paths to reach that same inner stillness: spending time in nature, practicing yoga, exercising, making music, writing, or creating art.
For Scott, art was his meditation long before he ever learned to sit in silence. Our friend John Simon Jr. feels this connection just as deeply, so much so that he wrote a whole book about it called Drawing Your Own Path.
Scott and John first met years ago through their shared love of creating art with computer software. Recently, they reunited at John’s home in New York State to talk about how drawing by hand (the old-fashioned way) can be a profound meditation in itself. It’s a beautiful reminder that creativity, presence, and peace can flow through any form of expression.

War Meditation #142
Épisode 142
mardi 14 novembre 2023 • Durée 31:57
On several occasions I’ve heard people ask the Dalai Lama how to end war, and he’s always answered the same way: begin by trying to resolve the conflicts in your own life. But how do we do that? This meditation goes through some of the Buddhist approaches to understanding the causes of war, both in ourselves and others, and how we might eventually be free of them.

Are We Fundamentally Good? with Dr. Jan Willis #140
Épisode 140
mardi 17 octobre 2023 • Durée 48:17
In this episode, I have one of my heroes back for a third time. Dr. Jan Willis is an extraordinary Buddhist scholar and practitioner and today she's talking with me about the question, Are we fundamentally good?
Buddhism sometimes seems quite depressing with its focus on suffering and death. But at the core of Buddhism is the idea that in fact, our nature is fundamentally good. Is there any evidence for this? And if so, how do we come to see it?
Listen to my interview with Dr. Willis to hear the answers to these questions, and whether we might even come to see the good in someone as destructive as Vladimir Putin.
