Today I sit down for a conversation with Justin Michelson. Justin is an old friend, dharma teacher, and lovely human. He’s here to discuss his new book, The Dharma of Healing. As I mention in the episode, the book is wonderful. The Dharma of Healing offers a unique and heartfelt path to working with what Justin calls “original wounds.”

Listen to the episode, get to know Justin, and order his new book!

It’s hard to write a paragraph or two about Thich Nhat Hanh, or Thay as his students call him. A Vietnamese monk, Thay trained in Thien (Vietnamese Zen), studied Buddhist philosophy including Yogacara and Abhidharma, and trained in many early Buddhist texts in both Pali and the Chinese Agamas. Additionally, he has many teachings that are uniquely him.

A poet, activist, teacher, and guiding teacher to countless around the world, Thich Nhat Hanh lived for many years in exile from his home nation. His teachings are firmly rooted in both Thien Buddhism and Yogacara philosphy. I cannot think of a teacher who has more deeply impacted my practice (and my family’s) in daily life.

Sharon Salzberg has had a deep impact on how meditation is practiced in the West. Actually, her influence far surpasses just the meditative community. Her teachings on loving-kindness and the Buddhist heart practices are the foundation of how we discuss kindness and compassion in the West.

Hailing from New York, Sharon studied with some of the most notable teachers of our generation, including S.N. Goenka, Munindra, Dipa Ma, Sayadaw U Pandita, and Mahasi Sayadaw. In addition to bringing the practices of mindfulness to the West in the early years, she championed the practice of metta.

Ajahn Brahm is a senior Thai Forest monk, although his monastery was stripped of its status as an official Thai Forest monastery. We discuss that more in this episode.

His teachings center on his idea of the “beautiful breath.” Unlike the first three episodes of the series, Ajahn Brahm focuses on jhana, or states of deep concentration. His teaching style is humorous, light-hearted, and centers on letting go.

S.N. Goenka is the father of modern vipassana. With over 270 meditation centers in 90 countries, Goenka has been incredibly influential. His style of mindfulness is presented as science, not Buddhism. As such, it has had the power to reach people of all religions and traditions.

Utilizing the body scan, Goenka essentially investigates the Four Foundations of Mindfulness. His technique can feel rigid at first, and the 10-day vipassana retreats can be quite intense. But this practice has helped countless people find wisdom and insight, and has inspired many aspects of Buddhism and Buddhist meditation in the West.

Sayadaw U Tejaniya is a Burmese monk who studied with Shwe U Min. A householder until 36 years old, he focuses on a continual awareness throughout daily life. His style is very different from the first episode’s topic, Mahasi Sayadaw.

Sayadaw U Tejaniya focuses on a gentle and continual effort, right attitude, and watching the mind rather than objects. This is the style in which I currently practice, and find his style of practice and sitting meditation to be very pragmatic.

If his teaching style interests you, we have a weekly sitting group in this style that focuses on mindfulness throughout the day.

Mahāsī Sayādaw is an important teacher in the modern insight meditation tradition. He deeply influenced how Buddhism and meditation are taught in the West, popularizing practices like noting/labeling, working the the breath in the abdomen, and making meditation accessible to laypeople.

With students such as Sayadaw U Pandita, Munindra, Dipa Ma, Jack Kornfield, Joseph Goldstein, and Sharon Salzberg, many of the methods we use in insight meditation in the West ultimately come from Mahāsī Sayādaw.

In this meditation, we will work with his teachings of noting, working with the breath at the abdomen, and investigating intention.

There really is one resource for this style of meditation that stands above all. It is called the Manual of Insight (https://amzn.to/4x8fk0Q). It’s a dense book, but contains the full outline of his practice, methodology, and theory.

Today we have a short (10 minute) meditation on calming the body. This is a form of body scan in which we move slowly through the body inviting in relaxation to each part.

This can be a useful practice to help when we’re tense, to help fall asleep, or just to connect with the body.
