In this episode, Wendy speaks with Tibetan Buddhist teacher Mingyur Rinpoche about how contemplative practice can lead us to awareness, compassion, and wisdom. Their conversation covers many topics, including:
- his involvement in early contemplative research;
- translating concepts between Buddhism and science;
- what Buddhists mean by "emptiness";
- non-conceptual meditation, open presence and foundational awareness;
- the three kinds of self, and which one is like shaving foam;
- the problem of othering;
- making friends with panic and difficult emotions;
- the experience of a "wandering" retreat;
- and building trust through contemplative practice.
