Description:

In this insightful episode of the Wisdom Podcast, host Daniel Aitken engages with Justin Kelley, Executive Director of Tergar Institute and Tergar Schools. Justin has practiced with Mingyur Rinpoche for nearly 20 years and earned his PhD in Religious Studies from Rice University, where he studied with Dr. Anne C. Klein. Passionate about making Buddhist wisdom relevant today—particularly in education—his research explores the intersection of Buddhism and learning theory, drawing on his hands-on experience with both the Tergar Institute and Tergar Schools project.  

You’ll hear Daniel and Justin explore: 

  • Justin’s spiritual journey post-college, his transformative experiences in India, and his academic pursuits that led to a PhD focusing on Longchen Rabjam’s Great Completeness tradition; 
  • Justin’s involvement in Tergar Institute’s unique blend of scholarship, practice, and application;
  • the Tergar Schools project aimed at infusing Dharma principles into young children’s education;
  • methods to apply Buddhist teachings in modern contexts, fostering spiritual growth, practical wisdom; and
  • much more!
