Cultivating Compassion - Thupten Jinpa

In this episode of the Mind & Life podcast, Wendy Hasenkamp and Thupten Jinpa discuss how he met and started working with the Dalai Lama, and insights from 35 years of translating for him; the relationship of language and mind; how to deal with self-consciousness; the dialogue between Buddhism and science; first- and third-person ways of investigating the mind that are central to the science of meditation; and the relevance of compassion for well-being and a program he developed to cultivate it.
