Metta Hour with Sharon Salzberg11 Mars 2022

Ep. 178 – Dr. Omid Safi

For episode 178 of the Metta Hour, Sharon welcomes her friend and colleague, Omid Safi.

In this conversation, Sharon and Omid discuss the nature of Radical Love and the many forms that love can take outside of romantic bonds. Omid also shares some of the factors and practices that support greater access to states of Radical Love. They contemplate what Rumi would do in a pandemic and what it looks like to flow to where the greatest needs and suffering are to be found in life. Sharon asks Omid about the cultivation of curiosity and humility in life and their roles in life. Lastly, they speak about accountability and restorative justice in the collective as a form of love in the public sphere.
