About the show

The Breath Between is a weekly show on Buddhist mindfulness for people who have tried meditation, found their mind would not stop, and assumed they were doing it wrong. Chamari Wijesinghe grew up in a Buddhist household in Kandy, spent three years in a forest monastery as a lay practitioner, and now teaches mindfulness to hospital staff and schoolteachers in Colombo. Each 25-minute episode has three parts: a short teaching drawn from the Theravada tradition in plain language, with the Pali word named once and then left alone; a story from a listener or guest about using the practice in a real situation, a traffic jam, a hospital waiting room, a difficult mother-in-law; and a guided practice of about eight minutes you can do with your eyes open. The show is respectful of Buddhism as a religion, not only a technique, and welcomes listeners of any faith or none.
