Paths of Practice with Rev. Dr. Carmela Javellana Hirano

Rev. Dr. Carmela Javellana Hirano serves the Salt Lake Buddhist Temple as a minister and is an integrative psychiatrist and founder of Sanctuary for Healing and Integration (SHIN).

We talk about 'dharma food fights,' the pinball-like trajectory of life, growing up Catholic in the Philippines, the differences between psychiatric medical training and Jodo Shinshu minister training, discussing your own foolishness in dharma talks, and identifying compassion in moments of crisis.
