<p>Kevin Townley is a meditation teacher. But he’s also a comedian who leads museum tours and an actor whose career spans Men in Black 3 and Law &amp; Order. In today’s episode, Kevin talks about how to practice the art of looking and the deep Buddhist wisdom that can be found in every museum. Inspired by his book Look, Look, Look, Look, Look Again: Buddhist Wisdom Reflected in 26 Artists, Kevin shows Chris how letting go of judgment—and engaging Buddhist principles—can change the way we view the world and find belonging.</p><br><p><strong>Host &amp; Guest</strong></p><p>Chris Duffy (Instagram: @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/chrisiduffy/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">chrisiduffy</a> | <a href="https://chrisduffycomedy.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://chrisduffycomedy.com/</a>)</p><p>Kevin Townley (Instagram: @<a href="https://www.instagram.com/kevintownleyjr/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">kevintownleyjr</a> | Website: <a href="https://www.kevintownley.nyc/home" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.kevintownley.nyc/home</a>)&nbsp;</p><br><p><strong>Links</strong></p><p>Humor Me by Chris Duffy: <a href="https://t.ted.com/ZGuYfcL" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://t.ted.com/ZGuYfcL</a></p><p>Look, Look, Look, Look, Look Again by Kevin Townley (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Look-Again-Buddhist-Reflected-Artists/dp/1736943901" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Look-Again-Buddhist-Reflected-Artists/dp/1736943901</a>)</p><br><p><strong>Follow TED!&nbsp;</strong></p><p>X: <a href="https://www.twitter.com/TEDTalks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.twitter.com/TEDTalks</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ted" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/ted</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/TED" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://facebook.com/TED</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/ted-conferences" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/company/ted-conferences</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@tedtoks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tiktok.com/@tedtoks&nbsp;</a></p><p>Podcasts: <a href="https://www.ted.com/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ted.com/podcasts</a></p><p>For the full text transcript, visit <a href="https://go.ted.com/BHTranscripts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">go.ted.com/BHTranscripts</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
