Vaccines and Compassion
A Skeptic's Path to Enlightenment - A podcast by Scott Snibbe - Tuesdays
Categories:
How does the Buddhist view on compassion help us think about COVID vaccine controversies? What do the Dalai Lama and the Pope have to say about vaccination? Without arguing for any one position, host Scott Snibbe and Producer Tara Anderson talk about how to stay loving and connected to people we disagree with, how to avoid "compassion fatigue," and how to (not) convince somebody to see things our way. Scott and Tara also share personal stories about growing up in an anti-vax household and deciding whether to vaccinate their young children.Episode 94: Vaccines and CompassionScott Snibbe's new book How to Train a Happy Mind with a foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama is out now in print, e-book, or audiobook. In May, Scott is doing two special events in New York City, one with musician and artist Laurie Anderson, and another with DJ Spooky. Both events can also be streamed online.
