Insights at the Edge with Jim Finley

Written by 
My nephew Jacob was recently ordained as a Presbyterian minister.   I attended his ordination service in New York and was intrigued by a scripture passage that I interpreted to be a reference to 'beginner's mind'.   That passage inspired me, and reminded me, to learn more about the commonalities among contemplative traditions.  

This week Tami Simon interviewed Jim Finley on Sounds True's Insights at the Edge podcast series.   Listening to their podcast was simply a pleasure.   A long time retreat leader, who studied with Thomas Merton, Jim Finley is steeped in Christian contemplative practice and well-versed in Buddhist practice.   Jim and Tami's discussion raises commonalities and differences between the two practices and should be required listening for those who teach mindfulness in predominantly Christian communities. Enjoy!
