- Cherishing Each Other: A Conversation with Tara Brach and Father Gregory Boyle
Many are familiar with the Dali Lama’s words “My religion is kindness.” In this conversation you will sense the gritty and real way that we struggling humans can learn to cherish one another. We talk about the relationship between boundaries and compassion; the unshakeable goodness at our core; how we belong to each other, and how judgments arise from delusion and blind us to the blessing of that belonging.
Father Greg Boyle is an American Catholic priest of the Jesuit order. He is the founder and director of Homeboy Industries, the world's largest gang intervention and rehabilitation program, author of several books, including Tattoos on the Heart; Barking to the Choir; and in 2023, The Whole Language: The Power of Extravagant Tenderness.
Father Greg’s life and work are a huge inspiration: he is dedicated to living from love and cultivating loving community with a marginalized population of ex inmates, gang members and their families. You can find out more about Father Greg and Homeboy Industries at: homeboyindustries.org/our-sto...

Father Gregory Boyle is one of my hero’s , thank you Tara x
I’m happier in the world since discovering Tara and knowing there is a Father Gregory Boyle here as well.
Amen! I made so many notes from this video and will practice living them NOW!
I was raised Catholic and drifted away from the corrupt and cruel church. How I wish there were more Father Gregs out there ❤
There are. MANY. I'm sorry your experience in the Church was that of cruelty and corruption. Sending blessings for your healing. 🙏
@@unme4728 Thank you though I personally wasnt traumatized in any way. Its just the corrupt and cruel institution the Catholic church is in my country (I'm from Poland) - e.g. the way it treats women and children, the way it meddles with politics. It has long forgotten the teachings of the Christ.
You took a bold step away from religion and fear and into finding pure love. As we grow and mature we realize that spirituality is not about organizations of control but about connecting with genuine hearts. ❤
Richard Rohr is another Catholic Priest who exudes Love.
I too am happy Tara is in the world💜🙏🏻
I'm grateful Tara and Father Greg are in the world. ❤
Thank you both for this tough and beautiful conversation. We don't hear the word Cherish nearly enough. "Cherish with our sleeves rolled up", this is true resilience.
To see the suffering not the sinner. Truth being Loving without ever needing anything in return, loving No Matter What, Yes! This is the true way to freedom and to reformation. Thank you Father Boyle for your years of dedication.❤
He makes me feel proud to hear such great compassion. I want to be like him. ❤
After listening to this conversation, I feel so much better about myself and the world on so many levels. Thank you.
Thank you for your talk; I absolutely agree. Unfortunately, it took me 89 years. If I had been born into a Buddhist instead of a Catholic family, it might have been faster. (Maybe.) It would be nice if we could nurture young people before they end up in jail. I read posts online by people who complain about young vandals misbehaving and not getting punished severely enough: "we should put them in jail and throw the keys away." In the next post they are complaining about their real estate taxes going up because schools have to be financed. I hope that growing knowledge about how childhood trauma affects behavior will change our guilt-punishment orientation. See research by Dr. Gabor Maté. Jesus allegedly said: "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." I don't know if he really said that, but whoever came up with that line had a good idea. It's the only line we need. The Buddha said we suffer because we lose what we are attached to or don't get what we want. Well, last Sunday it occurred to me that Trump suffers because he really wants to be president, and I suffer, because I want my husband back (he died 13 years ago.) Slightly different desires, but the suffering is the same. Be well!
Wonderfully inspiring and beautiful! Thank you Tara and Father Boyle for bringing such kindness and light into the world! 🙏
Beautiful conversation about love and our connectedness ❤🙏❤️🙏
What a beautiful talk. Thank you, Tara and Father Boyle! 🙏
If we only had Father Boyle in every community 🙏❤
I love father Greg Boyle and his mission with homeboy industries and homegirl cafe! So cool to see this!
Father Greg Boyle...love love love him ❤
This was extraordinary...I passed along to many...I'm inspired to know there are many' Father Boyle's in this world...may be all realize ourselves in his guidance. Thank you thank you....blessings
I'm so happy that Tara and Father Gregory Boyle are both in the the world! A deep bow to you both! "We are all unshakeably good" ! 🙏
Thank you and Father Boyle for teaching us about life. Beautiful talk today ❤
So grateful for this conversation and for your combined wisdom making its way into my heart and mind. Fr Greg really spoke to me today around cherished belonging. ❤❤ Thank you to you both.
Thank you both for your work, your teachings..we are all unshakably good and we all belong ❤
I will listen to this interview. Thank you to Tara and Father Greg for your great spiritual wisdom
such an inspiring conversation and a master class on true compassion 🩵✨
Two wise and heart full teachers. Thank you both for this conversation. It was filled with all the ingredients that a student such as me needs for my nourishment. ❤❤❤❤
Mindfulness and compassion in action! I love it!
I will come back to this again & again. I feel the same in many ways but failed to protect myself because I didn't hold the multiple layers well, and I think to put yourself in a service role until all are healed is the only way to inhabit and apply the perspective. All these individuals will go through a for profit adversarial legal system that has to protect the public but also must change. I am looking for a solution from the "justice" system and am greatly disappointed as I hold this perspective of integrated belonging. It's very conflicting. All and all, what has been discussed here is the vision, the cutting edge and where we need to go.
You are both such a blessing to the world! Thank you.
תודה!
That was just so wonderful. I hope you have himon again.
Just beautiful ❤🙏 Thankyou for sharing your conversation ❤️
I got to meet an aging second cousin Jesuit before he fell ill & passed, & was so fascinated by the life of service he lived, internationally. I feel so blessed to have met him.💜
We heard Father Boyle speak at a conference and he was excellent and so is his book Tattoos from the Heart… have not read the other two books but might have to…
Thank you. I needed this today more than I could say❤❤
This was so beautiful and inspiring. Thank you both so much. Going to check out the books!
We all have the capacity of unstruct goodness within us
Thank you both so much. I have followed both of you for many years, so this is an amazing gift to see and hear you together.
…The young men and women at first all reject the love and support offered…then they work in proximity with their enemies…daily…they’re not left on their own…they are given real support…it’s remarkable…
Thank you for sharing. Kindness rules!!
Thanks!
I never heard of this Homeboy. Heart warming. ❤️
Beautiful. Yes. This my experience too. 2 suggestions: saying "the poor " is making a division. And I see misogyny as something that can be addressed if it's identified. That's different from calling someone "a mysogynist." Misogyny is a sickness of us and our society and there's specific medicine for it. Basically the medicine you're talking about. Thanks.
Beautiful.... thank you for sharing. I will work on changing my feelings on Trump.... that's probably one of my biggest challenges! 😀
It’s ok to be aware of badness. He does harm to the world.
Thank 🙏🏼 You
Wow- thanks for this interview 😌
Thank you so much for this. Truly En-lightening! 🌸🌸🌸
I think "loving" is merely subduing one's ego. When one does that a feeling of good will, or respect, becomes a dominant emotion.
Thank you so much💕
My people❤
Wow!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤
Behavior change isn't healing! ❤️Thst!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The world we live in doesn’t make you want to love it 😒
You guys rock! I would love to see Donald Trump in your community❤
Me, too
Does Chicago have a "chapter" or equivalent to work this?
this g guy gets his hands dirty!
At the same time the meaning of sin is ‘missing the mark ‘ just a mistake and we can mend it . People have misinterpeded the word .
I'm trying to lose the good/bad concept for positive/negative or healthy/unhealthy. Sin is a crime against a Being but everyone suffers. I prefer the Taoist attitude toward suffering, though. Blame is worthless. Accountability brings reform.
Thanks!
