Dhammapada – Episode 1Welcome to Teaching Peace, the official podcast of the Brooklyn Peace Center. In this first episode of our new series, we begin an exploration of the Dhammapada, one of the most revered Buddhist scriptures, through a liberationist and trauma-aware lens.This episode features the introduction and first three chapters, originally published in the University of Hawaii Press Journal of Buddhist-Christian Studies. Jason Storbakken shares insights into the translation process, the ethics of interpretation, and how the Dhammapada speaks to those seeking healing from cycles of harm and oppression.Expect reflections on wisdom, mindfulness, and liberation, as we engage the verses not just as ancient text but as living wisdom for today’s struggles.
