- The selfless service, love, and wisdom of Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta
- Elizabeth Kübler-Ross’s unshakeable compassion and revolutionary work around death and dying
- How his teacher Ajahn Chah’s Thai monastery was an island of peace and possibility amidst war and conflict
- What the story of Korean Zen Master, Seung Sahn, getting a job at a laundry mat teaches us about non-attachment to self
