The Maitripa College Podcast

Please join us for this special podcast episode exploring Buddhist education at the unique intersection of east and west. In this episode, Namdrol Miranda Adams, Maitripa College’s Dean of Education, interviews Dr. Roger Jackson, Professor Emeritus of Carleton College, visiting faculty member to Maitripa, and a long time friend to our community and Yangsi Rinpoche, Maitripa College Founder, President, and Faculty about the traditional roots of Buddhist education in India and Tibet and how it is developing in the modern Western world.

In this special episode, Tiffany sits down with Dr. Leigh Miller, Director of Academic Programs at Maitripa College, to hear her take on the emerging field of Buddhist Chaplaincy, the framework students navigate in order to prepare for service as a chaplain, and the way Maitripa College fits into that frame.

In this episode, Yangsi Rinpoche takes us on a journey to discover the definition of a healthy mind. Relying on the Lamrim Chenmo (the Great Exposition on the Gradual Path to Enlightenment), Rinpoche discusses the work of Lama Atisha and Lama Tsongkhapa as a basis for defining a healthy mind according to Buddhist thought, and explores the delicate balance between intellectual understanding and experiential insight of the teachings.
