Metta Hour with Sharon Salzberg
Religion & Spirituality:Buddhism
For episode 176 of the Metta Hour, Sharon is joined by Neal Allen and Anne Lamott.
In this conversation, Neal shares his impetus for writing Shapes of Truth and how the book played a role in his first date with his now-wife, Annie Lamott. The three converse about the different ways they define the term and the experience of God or the divine, and how that interfaces with daily life. The episode ends with Neal leading a short guided reflection to bring the conversation to a close.
