On the newest episode of The Fatherly Podcast, host Joshua David Stein pursues these existential stumpers with spiritual leader Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, leader of the Shambhala Buddhist lineage and a father of three young daughters. As an icon to hundreds of thousands of people, Mipham has struck a careful balance between serving as a leader and raising his children with the same mindfulness and values he tries to teach his followers. In the episode, the two talk about growing up with a bicultural identity, the importance of selflessness, and the Sakyong’s recent book, The Lost Art of Good Conversation. Later on in the episode, Fatherly science editor Josh Krisch switches hats for a special edition of “Oh Hey, Science” called “Oh Hey … God.” Krisch, an Orthodox rabbi and a father of two himself, discusses the tension between spiritual life and family life, and how moments of clarity can help us make the world better. Tune in next week for a brand new episode of The Fatherly Podcast, which may not be as metaphysical, but will certainly be as deep.
