Teaching Meditation
This is the only podcast we know of devoted to the teaching of meditation. We interview teachers and others about the process of teaching, how they became teachers, their thoughts on who should and shouldn't teach, tips for new and veteran teachers, and more. While teachers and prospective teachers of meditation will of course find lots to learn here, this is also a great resource for anyone who wants to peer behind the curtain of being a meditation teacher. You can learn more about your hosts Upali over here https://upalimeditation.com/ and about Tucker over here https://meditatewithtucker.com/

Dr. Tucker Peck: Freedom is the Opposite of Community
•
Upasaka Upali & Dr. Tucker Peck

Season 3

Episode 3
Upali interviews Tucker in this episode. In a wide-ranging conversation, they touch on:
- Many of us look for self esteem to pretty much everyone we meet, or to no one at all, rather than in a sane place.
- Doing what you'd like to do, and being in community, are opposite stances. How do we balance these?
- Tucker talks about Sanity & Sainthood, both the name of his book and what he sees as the two goals of dharma practice and psychotherapy. This is distinguished from the point of practice being to get and keep an awesome feeling.
