Today I'm talking to meditation teacher, Yanai Postelnik about old age, sickness, death and the Dhamma

Yanai was diagnosed with bowel cancer just over a year ago and so has a very personal experience of both the Dhamma and ill health.

He has led retreats on the subject and talks very openly and candidly about what he has been through, so far from being a morbid conversation I personally found hearing his story to be deeply inspiring Yanai is a mainstay of the teaching community at Gaia House Meditation Center in Devon in the UK and has been on the show before when we did quite a deep dive into his life and Dhamma background.

So if you’d like to know more about him please listen to the episode entitled Love in the Time of Extinction, where he also talks about his activism aimed at fighting climate change
