This podcast episode is a fascinating conversation with Scott Odom, about what happens when we start to see the world through a lens of “basic goodness.” Scott is a retired police officer, dedicated Buddhist practitioner, and former nomad who spent four years traveling the country in an airstream. We talk about practice, the process of transformation, and integrating the many roles we play in life. In this conversation, you'll hear about Scott's experiences working as a police officer, and what he learned from that work – both the positives and negatives. He describes how police work was empowering, but also draining, and that it eventually led him to seek a spiritual path in order to cope with the trauma he was immersed in every day.  In Buddhism, the concept of basic goodness is the idea that all beings have an essential nature that is benevolent, open, and clear. Thus, all beings are worthy of compassion and have the potential of waking up to this true nature. Once he began his practice, Scott had the experience of going back on patrol with this radically new perspective and the ability to be fully present with people in all sorts of intense situations. This helped him move away from survival mode thinking, where he tended to view people as either a threat to deal with, or neutral and irrelevant. We also talked about his relationship with the devotional aspects of Tibetan Buddhism, including chanting, bowing, and deity visualizations. And, we discussed the embodied movement aspects of the Ngondro practice, and what he gained from completing thousands of prostrations (somewhat similar to a Sun Salutation) in the early years of his journey. And, of course I asked Scott about his 4+ years leading a nomadic life in an airstream, after he retired from police work. He shares what it was like to be on a sort of traveling Dharma retreat in the “airstream of consciousness.”  I hope you'll enjoy listening to this wide-ranging conversation and come away inspired to follow your own path of wisdom, heart, and insight – however that might look! -- Guest Bio: Scott Odom is a Dharma practitioner in the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism.

In the first episode of Dakini Conversations, a new channel for interviews/podcasts, Adele Tomlin (Buddhist scholar-translator-practitioner and founder of Dakini Translations) interviews Karma Dendup, Bhutanese founder of Jangsem Monday (Meatless Monday Bhutan) and an advocate for a more compassionate planet. Karma Dendup is also a media producer who before becoming Head of Production at the Bhutan film and media company Reflection Films, was a TV host and producer with the Bhutan Broadcasting Service, where he was also awarded a national award for his documentary during the 2nd Annual Journalism Awards. He hosted a popular TV chat show called Bodhi Tree Bhutan. In this interview, Karma Dendup talks about his life growing up in Bhutan, his background in Buddhist study and practice, his studies of film and cinema in India, his TV show and then about founding Jangsem Monday and the thinking behind it, as well as a more general discussion about being a Buddhist and eating animals: For the Youtube video of this interview, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQr9WCMKHE8 0:00:00 Introduction 0:03:00 Education in Bhutan and first time studying in Delhi, India 0:06:00 Return to Bhutan and studying Buddhism and Ngondro retreat 0:07:00 Back to Delhi and film school 0:08:00 Reason for studying film and cinema 0:11:00 Favourite films and directors 0:13:00 Speaking, studying and teaching English 0:17:00 the Bodhi Tree Bhutan TV show 0:21:00 Empowering youth of Bhutan with greater knowledge of Buddhism 0:24:00: What is a Buddhist? 0:26:00 Including animals and the 17th Karmapa's efforts on vegetarianism and the environment 0:27:00 Jangsem Monday (Meatless Monday) 0:30:00 Buddhist aspect of Jangsem Monday 0:34:00 17th Karmapa's statement on meat-eating in Tibetan Buddhism 0:36:00 Geography of Bhutan and Tibet and 17th Karmapa in USA 0:39:00 Meat as a status symbol in Bhutan, and the 'poor northener' 0:40:00 The karma of animals who are eaten and Buddha's advice to Ananda 0:42:44 Eating animals forbidden in Lankavatara Sutra and not allowed for monastics unless begging for alms 0:44:28 "Meat is the new tobacco" and breaking addiction to meat one day at a time 0:47:00 Toxic effects of eating meat and speaking to a more 'westernised' Bhutanese youth 0:49:00 Buddhists in Europe, America and Asia still eating animals even though Buddha forbade it 0:50:00 Being an environmentalist and eating animals, a major 'blind spot' 0:53:00 Animal welfare, adopting pets, and turning vegan 0:55:00 Buddha's three-fold rule as applied in the 21st Century, 'not seeing' is no excuse 1:00:00 No such thing as 'humane' slaughter and if 'slaughterhouses had glass walls' 1:02:00 Meatless Mondays globally - Bhutanese influences and the Jangsem Monday song 1:03:30 Deliberately not showing videos of slaughtered animals Although the majority of vegans and vegetarians will no doubt wonder why only Monday/one day? Murdering animals for food is murder and unnecessary any day of the week, nonetheless, such initiatives are still beneficial in getting people to consider whether or not eating animals is kind, healthy and good for the environment. In any case, whatever one's diet, it is very clear that the Buddha never said it was OK to willingly murder defenceless animals for food for health, desire or pleasure. Music?

Misunderstadings About Ngondro by Study Buddhism

Teachings on the short Dudjom Ngondro, given in Oxford, IA, 2000

Lama Dawa Rinpoche gives detailed teachings on each of the sections of the Dudjom Preliminary practices.

Lama Dawa teaches on the short Dudjom Ngondro practice. From a teaching given in Oxford, Iowa, 2000.

"The foundational practices of ngöndro exist as a method for realizing the nature of reality which is a beginningless enlightened state." -Dudjom Rinpoche

In today’s teaching we focused on the preliminary practices (Ngondro). If we do Mandala Offerings etc. with blind faith and without any understanding of their meaning, and instead just engage in an empty ritual, such action is meaningless according to Shantideva. 100 000 * 0 stills equals 0. But if there is really faith and understanding behind our practice, there will be signs of purification sooner or later. Then Alan quotes several Mahayana Sutras that emphasize the importance of meditative equipoise, shamatha, as a foundation for all higher realizations. This doesn’t mean that you can’t have an insight into emptiness or an experience of rigpa, but you just will not be able to sustain it. After the meditation Alan quotes from Dudjom Rinpoche that according to some the main practices are most important, but to him the preliminary practices are most important, and Alan stresses that this is really shamatha, bodhicitta and vipashyana. If you focus on these practices, you can lead a life without regret. Meditation starts at 22:11 min

This afternoon Alan delighted us with his lecture. He gave us advice in how to continue practicing after one has finished a retreat and has to go back to the usual activities of daily life. He questioned, how does special bonds of special relationships fit with the ideal of equanimity? And the answer to that is to take out the threads of attachment attending to the needs of the other person, deepening the sense of loving-kindness. Furthermore turning the hedonic concerns into eudemonic (genuine happiness) ones, at that moment the other becomes our spiritual friend. He also taught us how to deal with wisdom, loving-kindness and compassion in situations when a loved one is behaving badly, out of mental afflictions. After that he continued with a beautiful meditation that we definitely encourage you to practice. Finally he ended with four Q&A. The first one about the recommendation of practicing Ngondro (preliminary practices) before or after Shamatha. The second one, very interesting on advantages and disadvantages of doing retreat with a couple. The 3rd and 4th related to the practices of awareness of awareness and mindfulness of breathing.
