“To become a mother is to enter a dharma door.” What does that mean? It means that the experience of parenting is a teaching, or a path to awakening, and I absolutely believe that. In this episode of the podcast, I talk to Leslie Davis of Dharma Mamas, a blog and online community for mindful mothers.Leslie and I share a spiritual tradition in that we follow the teachings of mindfulness from zen master and peacemaker, Thich Nhat Hanh.Some highlights from the conversation: Being there for our children when we don’t want to be there for them.
