Mind, Awareness, and Compassion: A Conversation with Lama Tashi Norbu

In this episode of Truth Talks with Kelly Mason, Kelly sits down with Lama Tashi Norbu: Tibetan Buddhist monk, artist, and peace advocate, for a reflective conversation on mind, awareness, and compassion in modern life.

Drawing from Tibetan Buddhist teachings and lived experience, Lama Tashi speaks to how mindfulness and disciplined attention help orient us through suffering, uncertainty, and distraction. Rather than offering escape, the conversation explores presence, responsibility, and the role of consciousness in shaping how we meet reality.

Topics include:

• Mindfulness as a practical response to suffering

• The relationship between mind, perception, and experience

• Art, ritual, and devotion as stabilizing practices

• Remaining grounded and compassionate in a chaotic world

A thoughtful dialogue on clarity, steadiness, and inner orientation and what it means to live with awareness rather than reaction.
