Fear can be so paralyzing to action: early teachings on fear and working with fear and feeling fear in your body and then moving it through so that you can act anyway.
Imagine facing imprisonment in a foreign country, not knowing if you'll make it out alive. That's exactly what happened to Kiri Westby, a lifelong human rights activist and Buddhist practitioner. In this gripping episode of 'A Skeptic's Path to Enlightenment', Kiri shares her incredible story of how her Buddhist practice became her lifeline during her imprisonment in China.
From her upbringing in a Tibetan Buddhist family to making international headlines as an activist protesting human rights abuses in Tibet, Kiri's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. She discusses her work with the Urgent Action Fund for Women's Human Rights and how Buddhism has been a guiding force in her life, helping her cultivate fearlessness and resilience. This episode also dives into the scientific and spiritual aspects of Buddhism, exploring concepts like karma, rebirth, and neuroplasticity.
Kiri's story is a testament to the transformative power of meditation and the strength that comes from overcoming fear. Whether you're interested in human rights, Buddhism, or simply looking for an inspiring tale of courage, this episode has something for everyone.
