Breaking the Script: The Art of Awakening with Juri Henley-Cohn
Saturday, 16 May, 2026
How can ancient wisdom be lived in the middle of family, creative work, and the chaos of modern life? In this episode of The Kindheartfulness Podcast, we sit down with Juri Henley-Cohn, an actor working across film, television, and theater. While many recognize him as Shimon in The Chosen, Juri is also a father, a dedicated student of Phakchok Rinpoche, and a key member of the Samye Institute. Together, we explore his unique journey of "Breaking the Script." Juri shares how his work as an actor—stepping into the lives and minds of others—reinforces his Buddhist practice, and vice versa. We discuss the art of "living the Dharma" not just in a monastery, but in the middle of a busy career and the responsibilities of fatherhood. Highlights of the conversation include: • The Interplay of Performance and Presence: How the vulnerability of the stage mirrors the path of awakening. • Ordinary Modern Life: Juri's particular interest in bringing spiritual principles into daily family and work dynamics. • Beyond the Persona: How Juri uses his acting background to deepen his spiritual practice and vice versa. Whether you are an artist, a parent, or simply looking for ways to stay grounded in a fast-paced world, Juri's perspective offers a beautiful blend of depth and practicality.
