In this episode, Dhammamegha speaks with Cindy Rasicot - the author of a new book This Fresh Existence: Heart Teachings from Bhikkhuni Dhammananda. Cindy speaks about meeting her teacher Venerable Dhammananda, and responding to her challenging message of kindness and forgiveness rather than anger and hatred. The podcast conversation covers what it is like to be a student and disciple, different ways of practice in Asian and convert American Buddhism, and the radical transformation that can come with the healing practice of the medicine Buddha.   Links:  Order This Fresh Existence online, from your nearest independent bookshop or:  Buy This Fresh Existence (Europe) Buy This Fresh Existence (US & Canada)   Find out more about Cindy Rasicot and Venerable Dhammananda’s Monastery.
