The Kind Heartfulness podcast arose from the wisdom of Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche in concert with the activities Rangjung Yeshe Gomde Austria-Germany. Each year many brilliant Buddhist teachers, scholars and sublime meditators grace the programs and seminars of our meditation center nestled atop the beautiful hillside above Scharnstein Austria.

We are in the process of establishing a fully accredited university, so in that spirit, we will have as our guests some of the greatest living Buddhist philosophers currently teaching in major universities. This will be presented in an accessible manner that is interesting, entertaining and enlightening for everyone who is curious. Please join us on our journey as we explore, with an open heart and an inquisitive mind, the very essence of what it means to be human. Your host: Erric Solomon. Each episode is hosted by Erric Solomon, a noted author, Buddhist teacher and meditator. Erric is the co-author with Phakchok Rinpoche of Radically Happy: A user's guide to the mind.2023 スピリチュアリティ

  • Breaking the Script: The Art of Awakening with Juri Henley-Cohn

    Breaking the Script: The Art of Awakening with Juri Henley-Cohn
    2026/05/16

    How can ancient wisdom be lived in the middle of family, creative work, and the chaos of modern life?

    ​In this episode of The Kindheartfulness Podcast, we sit down with Juri Henley-Cohn, an actor working across film, television, and theater. While many recognize him as Shimon in The Chosen, Juri is also a father, a dedicated student of Phakchok Rinpoche, and a key member of the Samye Institute.

    ​Together, we explore his unique journey of "Breaking the Script." Juri shares how his work as an actor—stepping into the lives and minds of others—reinforces his Buddhist practice, and vice versa. We discuss the art of "living the Dharma" not just in a monastery, but in the middle of a busy career and the responsibilities of fatherhood.

    ​Highlights of the conversation include:
    • ​The Interplay of Performance and Presence: How the vulnerability of the stage mirrors the path of awakening.
    • ​Ordinary Modern Life: Juri's particular interest in bringing spiritual principles into daily family and work dynamics.
    • ​Beyond the Persona: How Juri uses his acting background to deepen his spiritual practice and vice versa.

    ​Whether you are an artist, a parent, or simply looking for ways to stay grounded in a fast-paced world, Juri's perspective offers a beautiful blend of depth and practicality.

  • Mapping the Meditative Moment: Exploring Micro-phenomenology with Martijn van Beek

    Mapping the Meditative Moment: Exploring Micro-phenomenology with Martijn van Beek
    2026/04/17
    What actually happens in the "micro-moments" of your meditation? We often use broad terms like awareness or presence, but the fine-grained texture of our practice often remains a mystery—even to ourselves.
    In this special episode of Kind Heartfulness, we are joined by Dr. Martijn van Beek, Associate Professor at Aarhus University and Board Member of Mind & Life Europe. Martijn is an expert in micro-phenomenology—a unique interview technique designed to uncover the hidden dynamics of our subjective experience.
    In this episode, we try something a bit different:
    • The Practice: Erric settles into a short meditation session to create a fresh "lived experience." (We edit out the 15 minutes of silence)
    • The Interview: Martijn leads him through a live micro-phenomenological interview, demonstrating how to peel back the layers of a single meditative moment.
    • The Theory: We discuss how this technique bridges the gap between ancient contemplative wisdom and modern science.
    Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or just curious about the workings of the mind, this episode offers a rare, "under-the-hood" look at how we experience our own consciousness.

    Martijn van Beek is an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Aarhus University, Denmark. Having previously spent many years working and conducting research in Ladakh and elsewhere in the Himalayan region, his current research explores contemporary forms of contemplative life and the encounter between contemplative traditions, especially Tibetan Buddhism, consciousness research, and modernity. Martijn specializes in ethnographic and (micro-) phenomenological perspectives on meditation. He lives at Vækstcenteret, a contemplative community in Denmark.

  • Beyond the Brain: Amy Cohen Varela on Sense Making, Consciousness, Kindness, and the ESRI Legacy of Enaction.

    Beyond the Brain: Amy Cohen Varela on Sense Making, Consciousness, Kindness, and the ESRI Legacy of Enaction.
    2026/03/13

    What happens when we stop seeing the mind as a computer and start seeing it as an emergent, relational system? In this episode, Erric sits down with Amy Cohen Varela, Chairperson of Mind & Life Europe, to discuss the past, present, and future of contemplative science.

    Recorded following their meeting at the European Summer Research Institute (ESRI) at Gomde, this episode moves beyond the "history" of the Mind & Life Institute to explore what these teachings mean for us today. Amy shares her unique perspective on:

    • The Origin Story: Witnessing the first meeting in Dharamsala between Francisco Varela and the Dalai Lama.
    • Enactivism Today: Why the "mind-as-computer" metaphor fails and how consciousness truly emerges.
    • The Science of Kindness: How "Ethical Know-How" turns abstract philosophy into a lived, compassionate presence in the world.

    Join us for an Amy-centric look at the intersection of deep science and the kind heart.

    Amy Cohen Varela is Chairperson of the Mind & Life Europe Board and involved with Mind and Life since its inception. She is also a clinical psychologist specialized in psychodynamic therapy and philosophy. Amy studied comparative literature at Brown and Columbia Universities before moving to Paris in the early '80s, where she received her degree in clinical psychology at the University of Paris 7, with a specialty in psychodynamic theory and practice, and in parallel, completed psychoanalytic training.
