Thupten Jinpa Langri - Finding Compassion in Crisis

Welcome to the first episode of Slo Mo. I'm your host, Mo Gawdat, and I'm so grateful to have you with me.

I never expected to launch my podcast in the middle of a global pandemic, but I felt compelled to explore the bright side of the COVID-19 crisis with some of my wisest friends.
My guest on today's show is the embodiment of wisdom and calmness. Thupten Jinpa Langri is an author, Tibetan Buddhist scholar, Founder of Compassion Institute, and former monk who has been the principal English translator for His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama since 1985.

In this episode, Thupten Jinpa and I discuss:

• Preparing your mind to be in quarantine for the long haul while offering insights on keeping anxiety at bay
• Cultivating the moral discipline needed to maintain social distancing measures
• The emergence of a new wave of compassion that we owe to this invisible enemy.

This is the first episode in our series: Silver Linings.
