“Usually when we hear or read something new, we just compare it to our own ideas. If it is the same, we accept it and say it is correct. If it is not, we say it is incorrect.
In either case, we learn nothing.
If we read or listen with an open mind and an open heart, the rain of the Dharma will penetrate the soil of our consciousness.”
~Thich Nhat Hanh from Heart of Buddha’s Teaching

About

On Being with Krista Tippett is a public radio project delving into the human side of news stories + issues. Curated + edited by senior editor Trent Gilliss.

We publish guest contributions. We edit long; we scrapbook. We do big ideas + deep meaning. We answer questions.

We've even won a couple of Webbys + a Peabody Award.
