Description:

Ethan Nichtern is a Shastri, a senior teacher in the Shambhala Buddhist tradition, and currently senior teacher-in-residence for the Shambhala NYC community. His new book, The Dharma of The Princess Bride: What The Coolest Fairy Tale of Our Time Can Teach Us About Buddhism and Relationships - just came out - and I have the great honor of chatting with him about it today!  We talk:  

  • Ethan's upbringing as a Buddhist, and when he committed to his Meditation Practice   
  • The Shambhala Tradition  
  • The Dharma of The Princess Bride (Ethan's new book)
  • The Meta- like quality of The Princess Pride and how that connects to Meditation 
  • Friendship as being part of Spiritual Practice 
  • Why Trust is foundational for a good friendship 
  • Why there's no "Buttercup" or prince charming coming to save us, and how to live with the Uncertainty of Relationships 
  • Ethan's favorite part of writing The Dharma Of the Princess Bride 

What are your main take-aways? Do YOU make Relationships part of your Spiritual path? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
