Devendra Banhart — ‘When Things Fall Apart’

<p>In this “spiritual book club” edition of the show, Krista and musician/artist Devendra Banhart read favorite passages and discuss <i>When Things Fall Apart</i>, a small book of great beauty by the Tibetan Buddhist teacher Pema Chödrön. It’s a work — like all works of spiritual genius — that speaks from the nooks and crannies and depths of a particular tradition, while conveying truths about humanity writ large. Their conversation speaks with special force to what it means to be alive and looking for meaning right now.</p><p>Devendra Banhart is a visual artist, musician, songwriter, and poet. His albums include <i>Ma, Mala, What Will We Be, Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon</i>, and <i>Cripple Crow, </i>among others.<i> </i>His book of poetry is <i>Weeping Gang Bliss Void Yab-Yum</i>.</p><p>Find the transcript for this show at <a href="https://onbeing.org/programs/devendra-banhart-when-things-fall-apart">onbeing.org</a></p><p>___________</p><p>Do you love what you're hearing?
