Fairfax criminal defense lawyer and DUI attorney Jonathan Katz has been inspired for years by the great and to-the-point online dharma talks and guided meditations by Venerable Thubten Chodron. Venerable is at once compassionate, kind, generous of her time and as tough as nails. Through divine coincidence that neither knew about at the time, Venerable was editing a book about inmates when Jon Katz invited her onto this show.

Transcending all religious and non-religious approaches to life, Venerable here gives great lessons on non-anger, selflessness, restorative justice, working with inmates, mindfulness and more approaches that work very well for helping criminal defendants and their lawyers obtain the best possible results in court, and for making us feel more grounded. Venerable suggests entitling this podcast as harmonizing the situation rather than beating the prosecution, to which Jon responds why the name remains as it is.

Check out Venerable's many great books, and the section of her abbey's website with writings by incarcerated people and prison volunteers. You are bound to be inspired by Venerable's words and great spirit.  If you like what you hear, please consider donating to her abbey.
