Robert Thurman's words were the first I ever read about Tibetan Buddhism, describing the inner explorers of its practices as "psychonauts" and its mental tools for liberation "spiritual technology." Few have done as much to advance the understanding and practice of Tibetan Buddhism in the West and I consider him one of my greatest heroes and teachers.  • Scott Snibbe    Robert Thurman, an American author, professor, translator & popularizer of Buddhism, takes a deep dive into immersion through a Buddhist portal, sharing with us, stories & ideas of returning to the essential origin of oneself. Being the father of famed actor Uma Thurman is totally inadequate to describe who he is and where he's been. Born in New York City to the stage actor Elizabeth Dean Farrar (1907–1973), a stage actress, & AP editor & UN translator Beverly Reid Thurman, Jr. got his BA from & also did his graduate studies in Sanskrit at Harvard. He eventually built a house in Woodstock, NY where he lived with his first wife & two children for some time. He has seen much of the world, traveling around Turkey, Iran & India, & moving back to NJ in the US, he became a Buddhist monk, study with Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama to become the first American-born Tibetan Buddhist in 1965. He was the cofounder & president of the Tibet House in New York, established to preserve Tibetan culture. He is also the author of many books on Tibetan Buddhism including his popular translation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead.  Thurman & I exchanged numerous stories of immersive experiences & ideas. This was our first conversation in roughly 60 years. We had met in summer 1960 in New York City through a mutual friend, Bruce Bennett, Thurman's Harvard classmate. Bennett and I were studying organic chemistry in Columbia University summer school. I was studying Organic chemistry as a pre-med. Although, I never went to medical school, organic chemistry and fluid mechanics are seminal to my work as a composer and sound designer Bruce, a fine saxophone player, took me with him to meet Thurman in Thurman's parents' apartment south of the Columbia campus on the Manhattan upper west side. Thurman was then part of the scene around Timothy Leary at Harvard and working with psychedelics.   I was 19 years old, Thurman and Bennett were 20. A few years later Thurman lost one eye in a horrid accident while changing a car tire.  This caused him to change his life. He spent five years traveling in Turkey and Tibet, a journey which would prepare him for a life of scholarship and spiritual growth.  What follows is a 33 minute excerpt of our 75 minute talk, the discussion of immersivity. It begins with Thurman speaking about his friend the Dalai lama. Topics discussed: Buddhism, immersivity, essential origin of the self, Tibetan Book of the Dead, NYC, Bruce Bennett, Timoty Leary-psychedelics, travel, scholarship, meditation, Dalai Lama, the Sami, reindeer, Helsinki, Himalayas, chanting, sound artist, death, clear light, transparent light, nothingness, void, emptiness, aliens, god, hell, freedom, Joseph Cornell, consciousness, life force, 4 points, of confidence, Alexa AI, musicians losing themselves, remembering one's birth, dream chanting, dogs. • Photo: A.

I am watching a live stream that bubbled up on one of my social media feeds. The stream is of a procession led by Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th and incumbent Dalai Lama, each a reincarnation of his predecessor and a manifestation of Avalokiteshvara, the original Bodhisattva of Compassion. The Dalai Lamas are revered as high spiritual leaders in Tibetan Buddhism. They are not viewed as reincarnations of the Buddha but rather as his spiritual successors, specifically tied to the Bodhisattva of Compassion. Tenzin is 89, born on the same month and day as my father but two years into the future... --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/david-olson6/support

El Dr. Manuel Sans Segarra conversa durante más de una hora con el venerable Lama Thubten Wangchen, acerca del Budismo y de cómo la Ciencia lo explica. Thubten Wangchen, nacido en el Tibet, es un monje budista, fundador de la Casa del Tíbet en Barcelona, representante del Tíbet en España y miembro del Parlamento Tibetano en el Exilio, donde representa a Europa. Tuvo que emigrar a Katmandú, atravesando el Himalaya, cuando China invadió el Tibet en octubre de 1950. Su madre murió en un campo de trabajo chino cuando él tenía 4 años.​ Posteriormente vivió en la India, donde fue mendigo durante muchos años para sobrevivir, hasta que el gobierno indio lo recogió y educó en su cultura de origen, como un exiliado A los 16 años ingresó por primera vez en un monasterio budista, atraído por la espiritualidad de su religión. Vivió durante once años en el Monasterio Namgyal, con el Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso. Viajó por primera vez a España en 1981, acompañando al Dalai Lama, organizando diversas conferencias y seminarios sobre la cultura e historia tibetana. Para dar a conocer el budismo tibetano y por indicación y consejo del Dalai Lama fundó la Casa del Tíbet en Barcelona, inaugurada en diciembre de 1994 por el propio Tenzin Gyatso. En septiembre de 2007 organizó la visita del Dalai Lama a Barcelona, consiguiendo reunir a 10.000 personas en una conferencia en el Palau Sant Jordi. El 27 de abril de 2011 fue elegido miembro del Parlamento Tibetano en el Exilio, donde es uno de los dos representantes por Europa.​

Informativo de primera hora de la mañana, en el programa El Remate de La Diez Capital Radio. Sánchez, presidente del Gobierno por tercera vez y con más votos que nunca. El candidato socialista es reelegido con 179 votos a favor y 171 en contra, en una investidura tensa y marcada por la amnistía. Hoy a las 09:00 tomara posesión . Hoy se cumplen 630 días del cruel ataque e invasión de Rusia a Ucrania. Hoy es viernes 17 de noviembre de 2023. Buenos días Ucrania, Gaza e Israel. Día Internacional de los Estudiantes. El 17 de noviembre se celebra el Día Internacional de los Estudiantes, una fecha anual donde se conmemora a la juventud de varios países del mundo por sus luchas para conseguir una educación libre y que dieron origen a numerosos movimientos estudiantiles. La celebración de esta importante fecha para la población estudiantil en todo el mundo tiene sus orígenes a partir del año 1939, cuando el 28 de octubre de ese mismo año fue asesinado Jan Opletal, un estudiante de Medicina a causa de la invasión nazi ocurrida en Checoslovaquia. A raíz de este lamentable acontecimiento, hubo muchas protestas y levantamientos en las que no sólo participó la población sino los estudiantes de todas las universidades del país. Miles de jóvenes fueron apresados, torturados, resultando asesinados nueve de ellos. 1933: el Gobierno de Estados Unidos reconoce a la Unión Soviética (creada en 1917). Tal día como hoy, 17 de noviembre de 1950, Tenzin Gyatso, de 15 años, es entronizado como el 14 ° Dalai Lama a los 15 años.

El centro de la ciudad tiene algunos lugares recomendados: la Catedral Metropolitana, que es la segunda catedral católica más grande del país; el Museo de Ceará, el Teatro José de Aleancar y el Centro de Arte y Cultura Dragao do Mar. El Mercado Central, ubicado frente a la Catedral, es un interesante paseo de compras En el Mercado Central ya no se venden alimentos frescos, sino todo tipo de artesanías típicas: hamacas, cubrecamas, encajes de birlo (una técnica típica de la región), artículos de cuero, sandalias, zapatos, carteras, sombreros y otros productos regionales. Gastronomía de Fortaleza En los restaurantes y tiendas de playa, no dejes de probar la tradicional Peixada Cearense, hecha con trocitos de pescado (róbalo o mojarra), huevo cocido y arroz guisado con verduras.

Nacimiento de Tortugas galápagos. Nacen en Loro Parque cuatro crías de tortuga gigante de Galápagos, un extraordinario hito para la conservación de esta especie en peligro de extinción. Las recién nacidas tienen un valor incalculable para la naturaleza por las enormes dificultades para reproducirse de esta especie. Cuatro nuevas tortugas gigantes de Galápagos han nacido en Loro Parque. Lo que hace a esta noticia tan extraordinaria es que se trata de una especie que solo se ha conseguido reproducir en dos instituciones zoológicas acreditadas en toda Europa, dentro del programa de reproducción desarrollado para esta especie. El excepcional nacimiento, supone una nueva esperanza para la supervivencia de una especie muy amenazada que ha visto desaparecer ya del planeta, a cinco de sus subespecies. En la actualidad solo sobreviven en la naturaleza unos 15.000 ejemplares, de los 250.000 que se contabilizaron cuando se descubrieron. Esto hace que cada uno de los ejemplares recién nacidos tenga un valor incalculable para su especie. La Unión Internacional para la Conservación de la Naturaleza cataloga a las Tortugas Gigantes de Galápagos como especie en peligro o en peligro crítico de extinción. Por esta razón, en 1959, el gobierno de Ecuador creó el Parque Nacional Galápagos para proteger su hábitat original y decretó en 1970 el más alto nivel de protección. Hijas de Tom, Tomasa y Ronaldiña. Las cuatro tortugas recién nacidas son hijas de Tom, una tortuga macho que reside en el parque desde hace cincuenta años y que pertenece a una especie poco común dentro del complejo grupo de las tortugas gigantes de las Galápagos. Las madres son Tomasa y Ronaldiña, dos hembras que llegaron a Loro Parque desde el Zoológico de Zúrich, el único en Europa que había conseguido anteriormente reproducir esta especie. La llegada de las dos hembras tenía como objetivo poner en marcha el proyecto de reproducción en Loro Parque: un proyecto que ha resultado todo un acierto con estos nacimientos. El éxito del programa demuestra las condiciones de bienestar que hay en el zoológico de Puerto de la Cruz y que han logrado que las tortugas se reproduzcan y sus huevos eclosionen, de manera natural. Este resultado es más importante, si cabe, por las inusuales dificultades reproductivas que las Tortugas Gigantes de Galápagos tienen. Su lento metabolismo hace que tarden hasta 25 años en alcanzar la madurez. De hecho, Tom, con más de 50 años es ahora, padre por primera vez. Pero, además, los huevos, que son enterrados por las hembras bajo la arena, deberán encontrar las condiciones de humedad y temperatura idóneas para salir adelante en los casi cuatro meses que necesitan para eclosionar. Después de eso, las tortuguitas excavan su propio camino hacia la superficie donde comienza su aventura de la supervivencia. Una de las incógnitas más relevantes que se plantean ahora es conocer a qué género pertenecen cada una de las crías ya que, externamente, no hay diferencias de aspecto por su género. Este dato es de suma importancia ya que el 99% de las tortugas nacen hembras. Esto hace que su reproducción sea más difícil y determina que el nacimiento de machos sea esperado de manera muy especial. El sexo de las tortugas depende de las condiciones de temperatura en que se desarrollen los huevos: los nidos más cálidos suelen producir mayor número de hembras. Este nacimiento es todo un hito para la Embajada Animal, porque supone un nuevo logro en la preservación de especies por la que Loro Parque trabaja de manera intensiva. Conocer mejor su biología y sus hábitos bajo estrecha observación de expertos es fundamental para afrontar los peligros a los que se enfrentan estas tortugas en su hábitat lo que, unido a los programas de reproducción se convierte en una esperanza real de supervivencia de estos fabulosos animales que pueden vivir más de 100 años.

Árið 1959, í kjölfar stríðsátaka við Kína, flúði Tenzin Gyatso, hinn 14. Dalai Lama, í til Indlands og myndaði þar útlagastjórn.

“World peace is the concept of an ideal state of peace within and among all people and nations on Planet Earth. Different cultures, religions, philosophies, and organizations have varying concepts on how such a state would come about. Various religious and secular organizations have the stated aim of achieving world peace through addressing human rights, technology, education, engineering, medicine, or diplomacy used as an end to all forms of fighting. Since 1945, the United Nations and the five permanent members of its Security Council (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) have operated under the aim to resolve conflicts without war. Nonetheless, nations have entered numerous military conflicts since then. Inner peace (or peace of mind) refers to a deliberate state of psychological or spiritual calm despite the potential presence of stressors. Being "at peace" is considered by many to be healthy (homeostasis) and the opposite of being stressed or anxious, and is considered to be a state where our mind performs at an optimal level, regardless of outcomes. Peace of mind is thus generally associated with bliss, happiness and contentment. Peace of mind, serenity, and calmness are descriptions of a disposition free from the effects of stress. In some cultures, inner peace is considered a state of consciousness or enlightenment that may be cultivated by various forms of training, such as breathing exercises, prayer, meditation, tai chi or yoga, for example. Many spiritual practices refer to this peace as an experience of knowing oneself. People have difficulties embracing their inner spirituality because everyday stressors get the best of them; finding peace and happiness in the little joys of life can seem difficult, and results do not seem all that gratifying. Achieving spirituality is a step-by-step process; there are ways through which one can become more spiritual every day.[1] Inner peace can be described as "a low-arousal positive emotional state coupled with a sense of balance or stability."[2] Tenzin Gyatso, the current and 14th Dalai Lama, emphasizes the importance of inner peace in the world: The question of real, lasting world peace concerns human beings, so basic human feelings are also at its roots. Through inner peace, genuine world peace can be achieved. In this the importance of individual responsibility is quite clear; an atmosphere of peace must first be created within ourselves, then gradually expanded to include our families, our communities, and ultimately the whole planet.[3][4]” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

Nascido com o nome de Tenzin Gyatso, ele foi reconhecido ainda bebê como a 14ª encarnação de Buda – se tornando líder espiritual e chefe de estado do Tibete. Durante décadas, foi o símbolo da busca pela paz entre o governo central da China e os tibetanos, cujo território está sob o comando de Pequim. Sua história rendeu o prêmio Nobel da Paz em 1989 e homenagens em pelo menos dois filmes de Hollywood na década de 1990. Nos últimos anos, no entanto, sua imagem vem sendo arranhada por deslizes públicos, o mais grave deles registrado em vídeo, no qual tenta encostar a língua na boca de uma criança. Para descrever a trajetória do líder budista e o que ele representa na geopolítica local, Julia Duailibi recebe Marcelo Lins, apresentador e comentarista da GloboNews, e Paulo Menechelli, pesquisador da diplomacia cultural da China e cofundador da rede Observa China. Neste episódio: - Marcelo descreve como Tenzin foi identificado ainda na infância como Dalai Lama, e quais são as funções e responsabilidades do cargo. E justifica por que é “difícil desassociar os processos” de sua perda de prestígio internacional e do crescimento do poder econômico, político e cultural da China; - Ele também comenta os dois “episódios condenáveis” protagonizados por Dalai Lama. O primeiro deles, em 2019, quando fez “uma brincadeira de mau gosto e machista”. O mais recente, “ainda mais vergonhoso” e que tira dele “as condições de liderar seus seguidores”; - Paulo explica a estratégia de Xi Jinping de “contar bem as histórias da China”, e como isso se relaciona com o Tibete e o Dalai Lama, “temas sobre os quais Pequim não gosta que se fale na agenda internacional”; - Ele relata como a cobertura da mídia chinesa sobre o episódio de Dalai Lama com a criança integra “a narrativa chinesa de que ele fomenta a independência do Tibete por interesses estrangeiros” - e como Pequim tentará se aproximar ao máximo do processo de sucessão para o próximo líder tibetano.

Le Dalaï-Lama est considéré comme la plus haute autorité spirituelle et politique du Tibet. C'est un moine appartenant à une certaine école du bouddhisme. Selon la croyance bouddhiste, il est un être réincarné.Pour beaucoup de ses fidèles, il serait l'émanation du bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara, appelé aussi le "bodhisattva de la compassion", l'un des plus vénérés de ces êtres qui, selon le bouddhisme, auraient atteint le stade de l'éveil.Le premier Dalaï-Lama est apparu au XVe siècle. Entre 1642 et 1959, date de l'invasion du Tibet par la Chine, Les Dalaï-Lamas sont à la fois les chefs politiques et religieux du Tibet.Le Dalaï-Lama actuel, Tenzin Gyatso, est le 14e de la lignée. Il a été intronisé en 1950, puis obligé de fuir son pays neuf ans plus tard.L'actuel Dalaï-Lama a annoncé, en 2011, renoncer à ses fonctions, d'ailleurs largement symboliques, de chef politique. Il a aussi précisé que cette institution des Dalaï-Lamas avait "fait son temps" et qu'il serait sans doute le dernier.Mais de telles affirmations n'engagent que lui. Même si son autorité et son prestige sont grands parmi les Tibétains, rien ne dit que, à sa mort, on n'essaie pas de lui trouver un successeur.Or, il ne s'agit pas d'une Monarchie comme les autres, où le fils succède à son père. Il n'est pas non plus question de désigner un successeur parmi d'autres dignitaires.Dans la mesure où le Dalaï-Lama est la réincarnation d'un maître spirituel, il faut trouver la personne qu'il a choisie pour sa nouvelle existence. Dès la mort du DalaI-Lama, une enquête est donc lancée pour trouver son successeur.On demande leur avis à des oracles, qui donnent des indications sur l'enfant en lequel se serait réincarné le bodhisattva. S'il peut reconnaître des objets ayant appartenu au précédent Dalaï-Lama, et en fonction de ses réponses à certaines questions, il est alors considéré comme son successeur.On le conduit dans un monastère, où il reçoit un enseignement spécifique.

“Inner peace (or peace of mind) refers to a deliberate state of psychological or spiritual calm despite the potential presence of stressors. Being "at peace" is considered by many to be healthy (homeostasis) and the opposite of being stressed or anxious, and is considered to be a state where our mind performs at an optimal level with positive outcomes. Peace of mind is thus generally associated with bliss, happiness and contentment. Peace of mind, serenity, and calmness are descriptions of a disposition free from the effects of stress. In some cultures, inner peace is considered a state of consciousness or enlightenment that may be cultivated by various forms of training, such as breathing exercises, prayer, meditation, tai chi or yoga, for example. Many spiritual practices refer to this peace as an experience of knowing oneself. People have difficulties embracing their inner spirituality because everyday stressors get the best of them; finding peace and happiness in the little joys of life can seem difficult, and results do not seem all that gratifying. Achieving spirituality is a step-by-step process; there are ways through which one can become more spiritual every day.[1] Tenzin Gyatso, the current and 14th Dalai Lama, emphasizes the importance of inner peace in the world: The question of real, lasting world peace concerns human beings, so basic human feelings are also at its roots. Through inner peace, genuine world peace can be achieved. In this the importance of individual responsibility is quite clear; an atmosphere of peace must first be created within ourselves, then gradually expanded to include our families, our communities, and ultimately the whole planet.[2][3].” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

Informativo de primera hora del jueves 17 de Noviembre de 2022 en el programa El Remate de La Diez Capital Radio.Hoy se cumplen 268 días del cruel ataque e invasión de Rusia a Ucrania. Hoy es Jueves 17 de noviembre de 2022. Buenos días Ucrania. Día Internacional de los Estudiantes. El 17 de noviembre se celebra el Día Internacional de los Estudiantes, una fecha anual donde se conmemora a la juventud de varios países del mundo por sus luchas para conseguir una educación libre y que dieron origen a numerosos movimientos estudiantiles. La celebración de esta importante fecha para la población estudiantil en todo el mundo tiene sus orígenes a partir del año 1939, cuando el 28 de octubre de ese mismo año fue asesinado Jan Opletal, un estudiante de Medicina a causa de la invasión nazi ocurrida en Checoslovaquia. A raíz de este lamentable acontecimiento, hubo muchas protestas y levantamientos en las que no sólo participó la población sino los estudiantes de todas las universidades del país. Miles de jóvenes fueron apresados, torturados, resultando asesinados nueve de ellos. 1933: el Gobierno de Estados Unidos reconoce a la Unión Soviética (creada en 1917). Tal día como hoy, 17 de noviembre de 1950, Tenzin Gyatso, de 15 años, es entronizado como el 14 ° Dalai Lama a los 15 años. Años más tarde, el 17 de noviembre de 1970, Moon Rover, el vehículo lunar de la Unión Soviética pasó en este día sobre la superficie lunar, convirtiéndose en el primer robot itinerante a control remoto en aterrizar en la luna. 1972: En Argentina, regresa el expresidente Juan Domingo Perón después de 17 años de exilio. Permanecerá solo un mes en Argentina, ya que la vuelta definitiva, para su tercer mandato como presidente, se producirá el 20 de junio de 1973. 1993: En Sudáfrica acaba el dominio de la minoría blanca (apartheid) con la firma de una Constitución interina. 2009: Cerca de Somalia, los piratas somalíes liberan el atunero vasco Alakrana tras 47 días de cautiverio. 2020: Los consejos de administración de CaixaBank y Bankia dan luz verde a la fusión entre ambas entidades para crear el mayor banco de España. Hoy se festejan las siguientes onomásticas: Gregorio, Isabel, Victoria, Hilda, Hugo, Juan del Castillo, Lázaro y Salomé. Rechazo terminante del G20 a la invasión rusa de Ucrania. Polonia ve "probable" que el misil fuera ucraniano y descarta invocar el artículo 4 de la OTAN. El presidente polaco señala que "lo más probable es que el misil fue fabricado en la Unión Soviética" y del modelo S300. La OTAN descarta que la explosión fuera resultado de un "ataque deliberado". Trump abre la carrera a la nominación republicana con el anuncio de su candidatura. Sánchez defiende la ley 'solo sí es sí' y pide esperar a la jurisprudencia del Supremo: "Es una gran conquista feminista". Canarias recauda más en nueve meses de 2022 que en todo el año pasado. Los ingresos por IGIC, disparados por la histórica subida de precios, superan en 74,5 millones el montante de 2021 a falta todavía del último trimestre del ejercicio. Canarias, la segunda comunidad con el sueldo medio anual más bajo de todo el país. Con apenas 18.000 euros, los salarios isleños están muy lejos de la media nacional, que supera los 21.000 euros anuales. Extremadura (16.427 euros), Canarias (17.925 euros) y Andalucía (17.468 euros) presentaron las cifras más bajas. Comunidad de Madrid, con 27.981 euros, seguida de Cataluña, con 24.168 euros, Ceuta (23.545 euros), Melilla (22.311 euros) y Asturias (22.286 euros). No figuran datos de País Vasco y Navarra por no pertenecer al territorio de régimen fiscal común. Torres preside desde hoy la Conferencia de Presidentes RUP. El nuevo presidente de la Conferencia asegura que trabajará “para que las RUP tengan el protagonismo que se merecen en la nueva Europa que se está construyendo”. La presidenta del Parlamento Europeo muestra su sensibilidad con la candidatura de las RUP para que Canarias sea sede de la Agencia Europea del Turismo. El Cabildo ve “insuficiente” la partida para que guaguas y tranvía sean gratis en Tenerife. El director insular de Movilidad del Cabildo tinerfeño, José Alberto León, ha afirmado este miércoles en declaraciones a EFE que la cantidad presupuestada en el ámbito estatal para este fin, de unos 81 millones de euros para toda Canarias, equivale a la que supondrá aplicar esta medida prácticamente solo en la isla de Tenerife. Alarmante incremento de los ahogamientos en Canarias La mayoría de los accidentes en las costas canarias se producen por imprudencias y en el 80% de los casos las víctimas son turistas. Los ahogamientos son la primera causa de muerte por accidente en Canarias y ya duplican el número de fallecidos en las carreteras de las Islas. 59 personas han perdido la vida en las costas y piscinas del Archipiélago a lo largo de este año, una cifra que, de mantener la tendencia del último mes, va camino de superar el número de 64 víctimas registradas en 2021, uno de los años más negros que se recuerdan. 70% de los siniestros mortales se producen en las costas insulares, mientras que el 30% restante ocurren en piscinas.

Día Internacional del Patrimonio Mundial El 16 de noviembre se celebra el Día Internacional del Patrimonio Mundial, una fecha emblemática, en la cual se estableció un acuerdo para la protección, cuidado y preservación de todos los sitios naturales y culturales que existen sobre el planeta. El Patrimonio Mundial constituye todos los bienes naturales y culturales que existen en el mundo y que forman parte de la riqueza y la herencia de toda la humanidad.

ERC no se fía de Sánchez: impone un calendario para derogar la sedición antes de votar los Presupuestos. La reforma de la malversación que el Gobierno hará por Junqueras y Griñán beneficiará a otros 526 corruptos. La Audiencia de Sevilla, en un auto fechado este martes, ha resuelto que el ex presidente socialista andaluz José Antonio Griñán y otros siete ex altos cargos de la Junta condenados en el caso ERE deben ingresar en prisión en un plazo de diez días, sin esperar al trámite del indulto que cocina el Gobierno de Pedro Sánchez ni a la reforma del delito de malversación que también prepara en connivencia con los independentistas de ERC. La inflación se modera al 7,3% en octubre por la luz y el gas, pero los alimentos se disparan un 15%. Los españoles compran menos alimentos básicos: la venta de carne, pescado y verduras cae hasta un 15%. Las RUP piden a Bruselas que su apoyo pase de las palabras a los hechos. Torres ha recordado que ya se ha conseguido un compromiso de la Comisión Europea de que las RUP estarán exceptuadas de la nueva fiscalidad verde al transporte aéreo y marítimo. Canarias y el resto de Regiones Ultraperiféricas afean a la Comisión Europea su nulo apoyo con los menores migrantes. “Sigue siendo imprescindible la solidaridad compartida de todos los Estados miembros para encontrar una respuesta global a un reto común de toda la UE”, han expuesto este martes en Bruselas.

Los camioneros canarios decidirán en una nueva asamblea si mantienen el paro. Tienen pendiente una reunión con el consejero de Transportes del Gobierno de Canarias para trasladarles sus reivindicaciones. Cada canario gastará 48,18 euros de media en lotería para el 'Gordo'.

He was forced to flee his home of Tibet in 1959 after China sent troops into the region because of protests to their anti-religious legislation.

Opening with a detailed definition and explanation of the Tibetan terminology used for the Dalai Lama, Robert Thurman in this episode gives a close line reading of "Song of Immortality: Prayer for the Long Life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama" using the text to give a teaching on the history of the reincarnation tradition and on it's importance to our modern global society. Recorded to celebrate the 87th Birthday of Tenzin Gyatso the Fourteen Dalai Lama, Thurman begins with a linguistic exploration of the title of Dalai Lama to give an introduction to the rich history and culture of Tibet, of Buddhism and of the Gods and divine pantheon used in the art and spiritual teachings of wisdom and compassion of Buddhist philosophy. Song of Immortality Prayer for the Long Life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama OM SVASTI O our gurus, and your line of lamas, for whom we have the deepest gratitude, You who are the repository of the three: secret powers of body, speech, and mind of innumerable buddhas, Who manifest in a miraculous way to each devotee according to his capacity, To you, who are the wish-fulfilling gems, the source of all virtues and good qualities, We offer our prayers with intense devotion That our protector of the great land of snows, Tenzin Gyatso, upholder of the Dharma, the great ocean, May he live for a hundred eons. Pour on him your blessings That his aspirations may be fulfilled. The dharmadhatu, the inexpressible reality, which pervades all things like the heavens, Immaculate, full of great bliss and transcendental wisdom, Manifests like a cloud the numberless abodes of the higher divinities, The mandalas of the heavenly beings. To all the higher forms of the divine ones, the yidams. We offer our prayers with intense devotion That Tenzin Gyatso, protector of the great land of snows, May live for a hundred eons. Pour on him your blessings That his aspirations may be fulfilled. O you numberless buddhas of the past, present, and future, Who are the masters of the ten powers and teachers of the gods, Whose attributes of perfection, free from defilements and born of realization, Are the source of the buddha-activity Which appears for all time in the ocean of the suffering of the world For the sake of all sentient beings. To you we offer our prayers with intense devotion That Tenzin Gyatso, protector of the great land of snows, May live for a hundred eons. Pour on him your blessings That his aspirations may be fulfilled. O sacred Dharmas of the three yanas That liberate us from the sufferings of the three worlds, Supremely calm, the jewel treasure of the fully enlightened ones, Without impurities, unchanging, eternally good, the peak of virtues, To you we offer our prayers with intense devotion That Tenzin Gyatso, protector of the great land of snows, May live for a hundred eons. Pour on him your blessings That his aspirations may be fulfilled. O all you arya Sangha, awakened and unsullied, Of highest valor in conquering the suffering of the wheel of life, With the transcendental wisdom that directly intuits the deeper truth Never departing from the indestructible vajra abode of nirvana, To you we offer our prayers with intense devotion That Tenzin Gyatso, protector of the great land of snows, May live for a hundred eons. Pour on him your blessings That his aspirations may be fulfilled.

Every once in awhile, a dog climbs on the roof of a house and chills out, but if you're Huck the dog, you do this all the time. How often? So often that your owner has to put a sign on the door. Join us as we talk about Huck and also about defining happiness, doggy style. Have you ever come home and been like, “Dang, why is my dog so happy?” In general dogs are really pretty cool happy animals. And they are amazing because unlike some of us (cough) they don't hide how they feel. It's all just out there. According to Global Dog Breeds, the reasons dogs are so happy are these: They forgiveThey live in the presentThey are happy with what they have right there, right now.They embrace life.They know how to get cozy and comfy.They trust their owners.  Carrie's taking a pretty cool course for free on EdX (sadly, this is not an ad) all about happiness and it's taught by Arthur Brooks, a professor at Harvard. And all these things about why dogs are happy made her think about that class and some of the teachings from it. Brooks says, “It turns out that the way we think about happiness is informed by where we live. For example, in some cultures, happiness is defined by social harmony. In others, it's defined by personal achievement. So the way we answer the question are you happy depends, to an extent, on where we're from.” Brooks interviewed the Dalai Lama and his Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso shared the following (the quote is taken directly), “I think very purpose of our daily life. For happy life, firstly, we need some sense of oneness of 7 billion human being on this planet. We have to live together. An individual's future depends on them, one individual, one of the 7 billion human beings in the group know that.” Brooks summarizes his points as follows, “The first is he taught us tonight that happiness comes from being useful and having a life's purpose, and that purpose, the purpose that we have, our highest purpose is caring for each other, lifting each other up, remembering that each of us is one of 7 billion human beings.The second way that he made this point is when he talked about unhappiness, which is our own creation.Unhappiness comes in our own mind because of self-centeredness.We become unhappy because we're unnatural, and we are unnatural whom we are thinking only of ourselves. We can only be truly happy when we get out of this creation that is unhappiness by focusing on other people.The third point that he made was about our intellectual lives, about research and investigation, about our brains, and the importance of sanctifying our intellectual work by putting it in service of our hearts, putting it in service of our love for other people, that in fact, our hearts can be most effective when our brains are fully engaged in the purpose, sanctifying that purpose and loving each other.And finally, the fourth way that His Holiness made this point that happiness comes from love for others is that we need education, that we need an education system that teaches each of us unity and oneness and sisterhood and brotherhood. And that is our leadership challenge.” In an opinion piece for the Washington Post, Brooks and the Dalai Lama wrote, “The objective is not to vanquish a person I considered my enemy; it is to destroy the illusion that he or she was my enemy in the first place. And the way to do this is by overcoming my own negative emotions. Perhaps taking that approach seems unrealistic to you, like a kind of discipline only a monk could achieve through years of concentrated meditation. But that isn't true. You can do it, too, regardless of your belief system. The secret is to express warmheartedness, kindness and generosity, even in disagreement — and especially when others show you contempt or hatred.” How do you do that when it feels like other people are taking away yours or others essential human rights? Or putting lives at stake? Or creating or revoking or refusing to revoke polices (be it about guns, abortions, clean water, property rights) that you feel are essential? That's really the question.

Å velge en leder er i utgangspunktet en enkel sak, men ikke når det er snakk om Dalai Lama. Dette er historien om hvordan en liten gutt fra en landsby på nesten 3000 meters høyde blir utvalgt til å overta både politisk og religiøs makt under meget spesielle omstendigheter. Det er også historien om en gutt som visstnok er gjenfødt, peker ut riktige eiendeler, flykter over fjell, står imot verdens mest folkerike land og vinner verdens kanskje mest kjente pris. Dessuten får du vite noe om tre meget forskjellige karer som alle har vært i eksil i Norge. Tenzin Gyatso, eller den 14. Dalai Lama, er dagens mann!

„Wer alles mit einem Lächeln beginnt, dem wird das meiste gelingen.“ (Dalai Lama) In der neuen Podcast-Folge diskutiert der Philosoph Albert Kitzler im Rahmen eines Wochenendseminars mit den Teilnehmerinnen Daniela und Rita sowie dem Moderator Jan Liepold die Philosophie des Dalai Lama. Der buddhistische Mönch Tenzin Gyatso gilt als lebender Weiser und trägt seit 1940 den Titel des 14. Dalai Lama. Er ist das geistliche Oberhaupt der Tibeter und wird von vielen Menschen weltweit verehrt. Mit 24 Jahren musste er aufgrund des politischen Konflikts mit China aus Tibet fliehen und lebt seitdem in Indien. Von dort aus bereist er die ganze Welt, um sich für die Rechte der Tibeter einzusetzen und den Buddhismus zu vertreten. Ähnlich wie die antiken Philosophen ist auch der Dalai Lama überzeugt, dass "der eigentliche Sinn unseres Lebens im Streben nach Glück besteht."

Our guest today is Akeem Haynes, athlete, author, motivational speaker and podcast host who, after overcoming various stages of homelessness to win an Olympic medal, now specialises in promoting resilience and inspiring people to find the good in whatever obstacles, setbacks or opposition they may be facing. Akeem's message is that hope can always be found if you know where to look and this, as well as so many of the other practices we discuss in this conversation - including challenging and changing our perspectives and 24-7 gratitude - are traits we can all cultivate if we want to head into a new year with a positive mindset. And we love the fact that instead of making more resolutions at this time of year, Akeem chooses to look back at what didn't get done last year and focuses on that. Be More Akeem shall be our mantra for 2022. IN THIS EPISODE: Why we are what we read, watch, do and eat Why a person's purpose is ‘a way to serve that is authentic to themselves and their gifts' Why self-perspective is better than self-help How autobiographies inspire us because they remind us that super successful people weren't always at the top Why none of us know how strong we can be until we're tested, and that the more challenges we face the more we will develop We Akeem favours monthly resolutions over sweeping New Year's changes Why he always buys two copies of important books Why we all need ice cream, massage and a hot shower Why gratitude isn't just a cute statement, it's a way of life Why your scars don't need to dictate your future BOOKS REFERENCED: Solve for Happy by Mo Gawdat > https://amzn.to/3GgPgXb Bundini: Don't Believe the Hype by Todd D.

Hỷ Lạc Từ Tâm là quyển sách được chấp bút bởi Douglas Abrams nhằm truyền tải nội dung các cuộc đối thoại giữa hai nhà lãnh đạo tâm linh thế giới: Đức Đạt Lai Lạt Ma thứ 14 (Tenzin Gyatso) và Đức Tổng Giám Mục Nam Phi Desmond Tutu. Hai con người vĩ đại với cuộc đời hơn 80 năm từng trải sóng gió phi thường, nhưng đã là điểm tựa an lạc cho hàng tỷ người trên thế giới trong mấy chục năm qua. Trong một tuần hội kiến, các cuộc đối thoại của hai Ngài đã diễn ra xoay quanh chủ đề mà Đức Đạt Lai Lạt Ma đề cập: "Mục đích của cuộc đời" - mục đích xa lìa khổ đau và đạt được hạnh phúc. Các ngài bày ra cho chúng ta thấy sự phản chiếu về cuộc sống hiện thực vốn tràn đầy đau khổ và rối ren. Nhưng ngay giữa sự khổ đó, các ngài đã đạt được cảnh giới bình an, can đảm và hỷ lạc mà chúng ta có lẽ rất mong mỏi cho cuộc sống của chính mình. Ước muốn của các ngài gửi gắm trong cuốn sách này không những là truyền đạt lại trí tuệ, mà còn cả lòng nhân ái của mình nữa. Các ngài nói rằng đau khổ là không thể tránh khỏi, nhưng cách mà chúng ta phản ứng lại với sự khổ lại là lựa chọn của bản thân mình. Ngay cả sự áp bức hay bắt bớ cũng không thể cướp đi quyền tự do lựa chọn thái độ phản ứng này của chúng ta được. "Tôi hy vọng cuốn sách này sẽ mang lại cho bạn nhiều hy vọng hơn và ý thức trách nhiệm cao hơn, bắt nguồn từ sự quan tâm chân thành đối với hạnh phúc của những người khác. Bạn thấy đấy, để trở thành một người hạnh phúc, chúng ta cần sống nhiều hơn với cái phần từ bi nằm trong bản chất của chúng ta, và có ý thức trách nhiệm đối với người khác cũng như với thế giới mà chúng ta đang sống. Trong thế kỷ này, nếu chúng ta thử hành động với những nỗ lực thực tế và tầm nhìn rõ ràng, thì có lẽ trong phần sau của thế kỷ, chúng ta có thể thực sự có được một thế giới hạnh phúc hơn. Một thế giới hòa bình hơn. Một thế giới tử tế và từ bi hơn. Vì vậy, hy vọng của tôi là cuốn sách này có thể trở thành một sự đóng góp để mang đến một nhân loại hạnh phúc hơn như đã nói.

Citações e trechos do livro “O Caminho da Tranquilidade”, de Dalai Lama. Considerado o maior líder budista de nossa época, o 14º Dalai-lama, Tenzin Gyatso (nascido em 1935) se descreve como um simples monge budista. Acredita-se que os Dalai Lamas sejam manifestações de Chenrezig, o Bodhisattva da Compaixão e o santo padroeiro do Tibete. Para Sua Santidade, o Dalai Lama, existe uma solução simples e eficaz para alcançar um estado perene de paz interior: a meditação baseada no sistema tibetano da Grande Completude (Dzogchen), uma técnica contemplativa que ele chama de “consciência mais profunda”.

Le 10 mars 1959, Lhamo Dhondup, plus connu sous le nom de Tenzin Gyatso ou sous son titre de Dalaï Lama, quitte le Tibet envahi par la Chine. Il trouve refuge dans le nord de l'Inde, à Dharamsala, suivi de quelques 80 000 tibétains. On compte aujourd'hui environ 6 millions de Tibétains dans le monde. Si la majorité vit en République populaire de Chine, une diaspora de près de 150,000 personnes réside en Inde et au Népal mais aussi en Europe.Pour cette diaspora, Dharamshala demeure la ville symbolique de l'exode et le Tibet, le pays perdu, celui des origines et de l'imaginaire. Au fil des années, le combat politique des tibétains s'est aussi traduit par une reconquête identitaire et la valorisation d'un riche patrimoine culturel. La musique y tient une place majeure.

Dans cet épisode, découvrez un trésor comme on en voit dans les contes : un solide coffre rempli de pièces d'or, de bijoux et de pépites, caché entre les forêts et les rivières des Montagnes Rocheuses. Celui qui l'a caché, un homme d'affaires fantasque, a disséminé neuf indices dans un poème très sibyllin pour permettre de le trouver. Des milliers d'Américains se sont déjà lancés à la recherche de ce butin, allant jusqu'à risquer leurs emplois et même leurs vies… Son nom : le trésor caché de Forrest Fenn. Jusqu'au fin-fond des Etats-Unis, découvrez sa True Story. Chasseur d'objets Forrest Fenn a seulement neuf ans lorsqu'il commence à collectionner les objets rares, après avoir trouvé une flèche amérindienne près de chez lui, dans le Texas. Cette toute nouvelle passion va devenir sa vraie profession… mais seulement 40 ans plus tard ! Entre-temps, le jeune homme, pas très bon à l'école, s'engage dans l'US Air Force plutôt que de rejoindre les bancs de l'université.

Existe un concepto clave que atraviesa todas las religiones de norte a sur: la compasión. El dalai lama Tenzin Gyatso decía “El amor y la compasión son necesidades, no lujos. Sin ellos la humanidad no puede sobrevivir”, y es verdad. Tal como nos enseña Victor Hugo en "El jorobado de Notre Dame", la compasión es fundamental para conectar con los otros.  ¡Pero no te confundas! Ser compasivo no significa echarte los problemas de otros encima o ir por ahí diciendo "pobrecito". Hay una diferencia importante entre la lástima y la empatía. La lástima viene del ego, la empatía nace del amor; es desear la libertad para todos.  La compasión nos hace parte de algo más grande, nos saca de nosotros mismos y nos acerca al resto del universo.  Acompaña al El Dragón Azul en el camino a descubrir el proceso para pasar de la lástima a la compasión.

„Achtsamkeit ist ein aufmerksames Beobachten, ein Gewahrsein, das völlig frei von Motiven oder Wünschen ist, ein Beobachten ohne jegliche Interpretation oder Verzerrung. “ (Jiddu Krishnamurti) Es gibt Momente im Leben, da strömt alles gleichzeitig auf dich ein: Während du gerade versucht, eine Arbeit hochkonzentriert zu erledigen, kommt dein Kind weinend auf dich zugelaufen, um von dir getröstet zu werden. Zudem hast du gerade über Whatsapp erfahren, dass ein guter Freund einen Herzinfarkt hatte - und das Telefon klingelt auch schon das dritte Mal hintereinander, ohne dass du bisher überhaupt eine Sekunde Zeit dafür gehabt hättest, um nachzuschauen, wer dich denn da so dringend erreichen möchte. Ganz zu schweigen von all den sorgenvollen Gedanken, die dir aufgrund einiger anstehender Entscheidungen durch den Kopf gehen und die dir schon seit einigen Tagen den Schlaf rauben. Und so richtig wohl in deiner Haut fühlst du dich gerade auch nicht, weil du dich durch den Stress der letzten Tage körperlich etwas vernachlässigt hast - die Haare stehen dir förmlich zu Berge, die Bauchrolle scheint heute noch praller als sonst und durch deine chronische Müdigkeit könntest du glatt als Zombie im nächsten Horrorfilm durchgehen. Manchmal ist einfach alles zu viel - und du kommst an deine Belastungsgrenze. Genau für solche Momente ist es (überlebens-)wichtig, geeignete Routinen zu entwickeln, die dich dann wieder Schritt für Schritt erden und zurück in deine Mitte bringen können. In dieser Folge möchte ich dir daher einige Elemente der Achtsamkeitspraxis an die Hand geben, die du in einem solchen Fall konkret anwenden kannst, um dich wieder zu stärken. Verlier' nie den Mut und glaub' immer fest daran, dass du auch diese Momente des Lebens erfolgreich bewältigen und daran wachsen kannst. Herzlichst, deine Marlene Die verwendeten Zitate aus dieser Folge und ihre Urheber: „Atme und lass sein.“ (Jon Kabat-Zinn) (* 5. Juni 1944 in New York) ist emeritierter Professor an der University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester. Er unterrichtet Achtsamkeitsmeditation, um Menschen zu helfen, besser mit Stress, Angst und Krankheiten umgehen zu können. „Achtsamkeit bedeutet, dass wir ganz bei unserem Tun verweilen, ohne uns ablenken zu lassen.“ (Dalai Lama ) Der gegenwärtige 14. Dalai Lama ist der buddhistische Mönch Tenzin Gyatso. „Achtsamkeit ist ein aufmerksames Beobachten, ein Gewahrsein, das völlig frei von Motiven oder Wünschen ist, ein Beobachten ohne jegliche Interpretation oder Verzerrung. “ (Jiddu Krishnamurti) ( 12. Mai 1895 in Madanapalle, Indien; † 17. Februar 1986 in Ojai, Kalifornien) war ein indischer Philosoph und Theosoph. „Dein Ziel ist es nicht, mit deinem Verstand zu kämpfen, sondern den Verstand zu beobachten.“ (Swami Muktananda) ( am 16.5.1908 geboren nahe Mangalore in Karnataka, Indien.) war Ende der 70er und Anfang der 80er Jahre einer der bekanntesten und einflussreichsten Yoga Meister und Gurus. „Sei in diesem Moment glücklich, das ist genug. Wir brauchen nicht mehr, als diesen Moment.“ (Mutter Teresa). 26. August 1910 in Üsküb, Osmanisches Reich (heute Skopje, Nordmazedonien); † 5. September 1997 in Kalkutta, Indien) war eine indische Ordensschwester und Missionarin.

A 7th-dan black belt in aikido, he began his adult life as a martial arts instructor in Japan; becoming the first foreigner to operate an aikido dojo in the country. He later moved to Los Angeles, California, where he had the same profession. In 1988, Seagal made his acting debut in Above the Law. By 1991, he had starred in four successful films. In 1992, he played Navy SEALs counter-terrorist expert Casey Ryback in Under Siege. During the latter half of the 1990s, Seagal starred in three more theatrical films and the direct-to-video film The Patriot. Subsequently, his career shifted to mostly direct-to-video productions. He has since appeared in films and reality shows, including Steven Seagal: Lawman, which depicted Seagal performing his duties as a reserve deputy sheriff. Seagal is a guitarist and has released two studio albums (Songs from the Crystal Cave and Mojo Priest), and performed on the scores of several of his films. He has worked with Stevie Wonder and Tony Rebel, who both performed on his debut album. He has also been involved in a line of "therapeutic oil" products and energy drinks. In addition, Seagal is known as an environmentalist, an animal rights activist and as a supporter of the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso.

In 2018, the Russian foreign ministry announced that Seagal was appointed as a special envoy to improve ties with the United States.Multiple women over the years have alleged that Seagal sexually harassed or assaulted them. William Henry Cosby Jr. (/ˈkɒzbi/; born July 12, 1937) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, and author who held an active career for over six decades before being convicted of a number of sex offenses in 2018. Cosby began his career as a stand-up comic at the hungry i in San Francisco during the 1960s. He then landed a starring role in the television show I Spy, followed by his own sitcom The Bill Cosby Show, which ran for two seasons from 1969 to 1971. In 1972, using the Fat Albert character developed during his stand-up routines, Cosby created, produced, and hosted the animated comedy television series Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids which ran until 1985, centering on a group of young friends growing up in an urban area. Throughout the 1970s, Cosby starred in about half a dozen films, and he occasionally returned to film later in his career. In 1976, he earned his Doctor of Education from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His dissertation discussed the use of Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids as a teaching tool in elementary schools. Beginning in the 1980s, Cosby produced and starred in the television sitcom The Cosby Show, which aired from 1984 to 1992 and was rated as the number one show in America from 1985 through 1989.

Pour cette ultime chronique de 2020, je vous invite à un voyage dans le futur. « Un futur fait d’une société libre d’individus libres dans laquelle il n’y aurait plus ni domination, ni exploitation, ni oppression. »[1] Il ne s’agit ni de Jules Verne ni de science-fiction, mais d’un choix subjectif de propos émis par quatre grands pacifistes que j’ai rencontrés à plusieurs reprises: Lanza del Vasto (1901-1981), disciple de Gandhi, fondateur des Communautés de l’Arche dont on a en tendu l’extrait d’une chanson, activiste non-violent, écrivain, militant de la paix : « Dans la guerre, ce n’est pas la paix que l’on veut, c’est la victoire, ce qui est tout à fait différent. Alors ? Où frapper l’ennemi ? Au centre : à la conscience. La non-violence ne saurait se réduire à une technique. Elle est avant toute chose une manière d’être. Elle est finalement un acte de foi en la force de l’esprit. » Tenzin Gyatso, 14e Dalaï Lama, Prix Nobel de la Paix en 1989 : « La non-violence ne doit pas être une apparence, il faut agir sans haine dans le but de faire le bien à autrui. Le bon sens de la vie humaine nous montre qu’elle est courte et qu’il vaut mieux faire de notre court passage sur terre quelque chose d’utile pour soi et pour les autres. La planète n’a pas besoin de gens qui réussissent. La planète a désespérément besoin de plus de faiseurs de paix… » Matthieu Ricard, scientifique, moine bouddhiste : « Le message d’amour, parfois sous l’influence du pouvoir, s’est transformé en force d’oppression. L’heure est à la compassion et à la bienveillance. Une organisation de la voix du peuple se met en place !» Cabu (1938-2015), caricaturiste, militant pacifiste : « L’utopie n’est pas ce qui est irréalisable, mais ce qui est irréalisé.» [1] Anarchisme non-violent et pacifisme libertaire, Sebastian Kalicha, Atelier de création libertaire, 2020.   Photos : Fréquence Terre, D.R., Association Amis de Lanza del Vasto et "Cabu, une vie de dessinateur".

On this episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we discuss one of the greatest spiritual leaders of our time, the Dalai Lama. His real name is Tenzin Gyatso, and he is the 14th Dalai Lama, supposedly the true ruler of Tibet and a beacon for Buddhism around the world. His life story is one that involves mysticism, war, conquering armies, power-hungry warlords, the CIA, and a world leader. Born in a small village, Tenzin Gyatso was an unassuming child of horse farmers. But when the 13th Dalai Lama died, the extensive mystical search for his replacement pointed to Tenzin. There are many Lamas, and several of them are supposedly reincarnations of previous iterations. In fact, two of Tenzin’s siblings are just such lesser Lamas. The search for the Dalai Lama takes years and involves the highest monks of the order. Signs such as the floating head of the previous Dalai Lama and visions near a holy lake pointed them to Tenzin. He passed the tests they gave him, and before he could become the new Dalai Lama, there was a two year struggle with a local warlord and a play to sneak him into Tibet without the Chinese government knowing. By 1939, he was finally in Lhasa, the capitol of Tibet, where he was able to rule his people. By 1950, however, the People’s Republic of China had taken over Tibet. All religious freedoms were stifled, people were killed or disappeared, and it became illegal to hang a Tibetan flag or a picture of the Dalai Lama up. In 1959, a CIA-backed coup was meant to kick the Chinese out of Tibet, but it failed. The CIA had to smuggle the Dalai Lama over the Himalayas disguised as a soldier, where they placed him and 80,000 Tibetan refugees up in India in a government in exile. To this day, the 14th Dalai Lama still lives there. The Chinese still control Tibet, but to their government, he is a dangerous man. He controls the heart and culture of a land that is critical to their country. What will happen when finally dies? Why does he think China will try to create a fake Dalai Lama that they control? How can he stop such a thing? Why did they give him a Nobel peace prize? What threats does he face when he travels abroad to talk? How might quantum physics explain reincarnation?

No exílio, Dalai Lama completa 80 anos como líder espiritual do Tibete O Dalai Lama completa 80 anos como o líder espiritual do Tibete neste sábado (22), uma função que desempenhou quase sempre no exílio, sob os constantes ataques da China. O Dalai Lama completa 80 anos como o líder espiritual do Tibete neste sábado (22), uma função que desempenhou quase sempre no exílio, sob os constantes ataques da China. A centenas de quilômetros do imenso palácio Potala de Lhasa, o líder budista se dirige desde 1959 a seus companheiros tibetanos do exílio em Dharamsala, ao pé do Himalaia na Índia. O Dalai Lama continua sendo a face universalmente reconhecida do movimento pela autonomia do Tibete, convertido em uma província chinesa desde 1951. No entanto, a atenção mundial que recebeu ao vencer o Prêmio Nobel da Paz em 1989 se atenuou, enquanto o número de convites para encontrar líderes mundiais e estrelas de Hollywood caiu consideravelmente nos últimos anos. O carismático 14º Dalai Lama reduziu o ritmo e, em abril do ano passado, foi hospitalizado por uma infecção pulmonar. Sua saúde também sofreu com a crescente influência da China e as ameaças de represálias que Pequim expressa a todos que se aproximam do líder budista. O governo chinês acusa o Dalai Lama, de 84 anos, de querer dividir a China e o considera um "lobo com túnica de monge". Data não será comemorada O gabinete do líder espiritual anunciou que a data não seria comemorada e que uma reunião com fiéis, programada para março, foi cancelada em consequência do novo coronavírus. O atual Dalai Lama nasceu em 6 de julho de 1935 com o nome de Lhamo Dhondup. Este filho de agricultores das colinas do nordeste tibetano tinha dois anos quando uma expedição chegou a sua aldeia em busca do novo líder espiritual do Tibete. Como foi capaz de designar objetos que pertenceram ao 13º Dalai Lama, que morreu em 1933, o menino foi proclamado como sua reencarnação. Logo depois, foi separado da família e levado para um mosteiro, antes de seguir para Lhasa, onde recebeu uma rígida educação teológica e filosófica, antes de ser entronizado como o 14º Dalai Lama em 1939. Em 1950, quando tinha 15 anos, foi proclamado chefe de Estado tibetano, após a entrada do exército chinês no Tibete. Apesar de seus esforços para proteger os tibetanos, ele se viu obrigado a fugir em 1959 para a vizinha Índia, após uma violenta repressão dos militares chineses contra os manifestantes tibetanos. Desde então, à frente de um governo no exílio, Tenzin Gyatso - seu nome religioso - busca incansavelmente um acordo com Pequim sobre o destino dos tibetanos, baseado em um primeiro momento na reivindicação de independência que, com o passar do tempo, se transformou em uma demanda por mais autonomia. Luta pela autonomia do Tibete pode terminar em breve Os ativistas tibetanos e Pequim sabem que a morte do monge budista mais famoso do planeta pode acabar com a busca por autonomia nesta região do Himalaia. A forma como será escolhido seu sucessor é um mistério. Os budistas tibetanos escolhem tradicionalmente o Dalai Lama com um sistema ritual, que pode demorar anos, com um comitê itinerante que procura sinais de que uma criança pode ser a reencarnação do último líder espiritual. Mas o 14º Dalai Lama poderia impor um novo processo não tradicional para evitar que a China se pronuncie. Poderia escolher ele mesmo seu sucessor, talvez uma menina, ou decretar seu último dia como Dalai Lama.

Dalai Lama of Tibet escapes to India. Tibet embraced Buddhism in the 7th century under head of state and spiritual leader Dalai Lama. The present and 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, was identified at the age of two as a reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama. From an early age, he tried to deal with the tensions between his country and China. But China, feeling its power threatened, invaded Tibet in 1950, asserting its sovereignty over the centuries-old region. Tibetan anger grew until an anti-Chinese uprising in 1959 prompted the Chinese military to attack. They fired hundreds of artillery shells, destroying the Dalai Lama’s summer place, killing thousands of Tibetans and leaving many more homeless. The Dalai Lama fled with 20 others, including six of his cabinet ministers. After a 15-day journey, they arrived in India on March 31, 1959 and were given asylum. Since then the Dalai Lama has set up a Tibetan government in exile in Dharamsala, India, also known as “Little Lhasa.” The government of China has been strongly criticized for its human rights abuses in Tibet, in contrast to the Dalai Lama, who received the Nobel Peace prize in 1989 for his consistent promotion of peaceful resistance.

"He dared to be born right on the border with China." Regardless of whether you are a Buddhist or not, the story of Tenzin Gyatso is an interesting one that certainly provides drama that can draw you in. Born as the 14th reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, Gyatso grew up as the leader of Tibet. China, however, had other plans and eventually took Tibet, leaving the Dalai Lama no choice but to flee China in 1959. Still hoping to return one day, the Dalai Lama's life story was one of interest to screenwriter Melissa Mathison who asked him if she could write about him. This eventually led to the biopic Kundun. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we wrap up our Melissa Mathison series with Martin Scorsese's 1997 film Kundun. We talk about why it works for Andy but why it doesn't work for Pete, and what could perhaps lead to that discrepancy. We chat about Mathison and how this fits in the films she wrote and what we've discussed in this series thus far, and how well it works in telling the story of a child in large, otherworldly situations. We talk about Scorsese and all the brilliant cinematic techniques he brings to the film, paired with his cinematographer Roger Deakins, production & costume designer Dante Ferretti, editor Thelma Schoonmaker and composer Philip Glass. We discuss the quality of performances from the Tibetan non-actors Scorsese cast in the film, yet how the story balancing across four youthful performances as the Dalai Lama hampers the film from becoming connectible for Pete. And we look at the incredibly difficult time this film has had with its release, primarily because China banned people involved from entering the country and nearly cut off all ties with Disney for distribution within its borders.

"He dared to be born right on the border with China." Regardless of whether you are a Buddhist or not, the story of Tenzin Gyatso is an interesting one that certainly provides drama that can draw you in. Born as the 14th reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, Gyatso grew up as the leader of Tibet. China, however, had other plans and eventually took Tibet, leaving the Dalai Lama no choice but to flee China in 1959. Still hoping to return one day, the Dalai Lama’s life story was one of interest to screenwriter Melissa Mathison who asked him if she could write about him. This eventually led to the biopic Kundun. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we wrap up our Melissa Mathison series with Martin Scorsese’s 1997 film Kundun. We talk about why it works for Andy but why it doesn’t work for Pete, and what could perhaps lead to that discrepancy. We chat about Mathison and how this fits in the films she wrote and what we’ve discussed in this series thus far, and how well it works in telling the story of a child in large, otherworldly situations. We talk about Scorsese and all the brilliant cinematic techniques he brings to the film, paired with his cinematographer Roger Deakins, production & costume designer Dante Ferretti, editor Thelma Schoonmaker and composer Philip Glass. We discuss the quality of performances from the Tibetan non-actors Scorsese cast in the film, yet how the story balancing across four youthful performances as the Dalai Lama hampers the film from becoming connectible for Pete. And we look at the incredibly difficult time this film has had with its release, primarily because China banned people involved from entering the country and nearly cut off all ties with Disney for distribution within its borders. It’s a fascinating film that left us divided but which still is well worth watching and discussing, whether you’re a Buddhist, a Scorsese fan, a Mathison fan, a fan of biopics or a fan of interesting films in general.

"The Art of Happiness" - by HH Dalia Lama XIV & Howard C Cutler 'A Handbook for Living' According to Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama, the purpose of life is happiness. Everything we do in life should be a move towards happiness. This book delves into a lot of different areas, from personal relationships to suffering to intimacy to meditating and training your mind for happiness. Whilst some of these lessons come from the Buddhist faith, you don't have to become a Buddhist to practice compassion and happiness. Whilst it is impossible to go through life without experiencing loss and suffering, it is up to us to control how we react to situations and how we transform suffering into happiness.

Jonathan Powell Talks About Beacons Of Light With Jonathan Michel His concepts behind the new recording and his band nu Sangha.  “And the young trumpeter Jonathan Powell is brilliant. At times listening to Powell makes one think, of a young Freddie Hubbard tempered with Lester Bowie’s flair for unpredictable phrasing and melodrama.” Duck Baker, Jazz Times On Beacons of Light, trumpeter Jonathan Powell pays tribute to some of the great minds of our time, people who touched the hearts and minds of many with the light of the truth.  The music draws inspiration from jazz icons past and present, including John Coltrane, Freddie Hubbard, the Brian Blades Fellowship and Pat Metheny among others. Powell describes his music as “modern jazz,” but the label barely scratches the surface of his range and abilities. Virtuosic compositions such as Malwana showcase Powell and his band’s aptitude for interweaving Eastern and Middle Eastern sounds with counterpoint melodies. During a recent conversation with the publication, Jazz Speaks, Powell talked about the overall concept: “Each tune has a subject or person of interest. For example, Aung San Suu Kyi was an advocate for democracy advocate in Burma. Then there’s the Christian Mystic named, Stylianos Atteshlis, and the original Siddhartha Buddha, Rumi, the great Sufi mystic and poet, doctor Robert Lanza, Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th and current Dalai Lama.”  While composing the material, he noted a specific sound and vibe that radiated from each of his subjects. When the material was completed, he reached out to Kickstarter, the world’s largest global crowd funding platform, and the universe graciously responded.  Powell was born in Largo, Florida, where he took up the trumpet at the age of twelve. In high school, he excelled as a featured member of the All-State Band and All-State Jazz Band, met three like-minded students and formed the group Quantum, which earned the award for Best Student Jazz Group in the Downbeat Student Awards (1998, 1999).

Our quote for today is from Buddha. He said, "There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting." In this podcast, we are making our way through Garry R. Morgan's book, "Understanding World Religions in 15 Minutes a Day." Our Understanding World Religions topic for today is, "Tibetan Buddhism"  Tibetan Buddhism may be best known in the West because of the international popularity of its leader, Tenzin Gyatso, the current Dalai Lama. Tibetan Buddhist monks are called lamas, meaning "superior ones." There are two orders of lamas, which the West labels the Red Hats and the Yellow Hats. The Yellow Hats are the larger group and their leader is the Dalai Lama.  Buddhist missionaries entered Tibet from both India and China in the seventh century AD, at the Tibetan king's invitation. The new religion was quickly adopted and had government support. By the fourteenth century, the monks had become so powerful they took over rule and held it until the 1950 Chinese invasion. At this time, the current Dalai Lama and many followers escaped to India, where they currently live in exile. Unlike his predecessors, Tenzin Gyatso has traveled widely as a spokesman for human rights and international harmony. In 1989, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace.  When a Dalai Lama dies, monks thoroughly search Tibet, checking all boys born within a certain date range to see which might have the traits of the deceased leader. Further tests and divination will be carried out to select which child is the reincarnation of the previous Dalai Lama. Then he will be taken to a monastery and given years of special training to prepare him to take over leadership of the Tibetan community. The death of this Dalai Lama will produce a special challenge, since the Tibetan community is now scattered around the globe and a search of Tibet would be hindered or forbidden by the Chinese authorities. Also, the Chinese government has said China will choose the next Dalai Lama, which most Tibetans are sure to reject. Sadly, the effort to replace a Dalai Lama noted for peace efforts may be marred by violence.  ...

Making Sense with Sam Harris - Subscriber Content

I once participated in a twenty-three-day wilderness program in the mountains of Colorado. If the purpose of this course was to expose students to dangerous lightning and half the world’s mosquitoes, it was fulfilled on the first day. What was in essence a forced march through hundreds of miles of backcountry culminated in a ritual known as “the solo,” where we were finally permitted to rest—alone, on the outskirts of a gorgeous alpine lake—for three days of fasting and contemplation. I had just turned sixteen, and this was my first taste of true solitude since exiting my mother’s womb. It proved a sufficient provocation. After a long nap and a glance at the icy waters of the lake, the promising young man I imagined myself to be was quickly cut down by loneliness and boredom. I filled the pages of my journal not with the insights of a budding naturalist, philosopher, or mystic but with a list of the foods on which I intended to gorge myself the instant I returned to civilization. Judging from the state of my consciousness at the time, millions of years of hominid evolution had produced nothing more transcendent than a craving for a cheeseburger and a chocolate milkshake. I found the experience of sitting undisturbed for three days amid pristine breezes and starlight, with nothing to do but contemplate the mystery of my existence, to be a source of perfect misery—for which I could see not so much as a glimmer of my own contribution. My letters home, in their plaintiveness and self-pity, rivaled any written at Shiloh or Gallipoli. So I was more than a little surprised when several members of our party, most of whom were a decade older than I, described their days and nights of solitude in positive, even transformational terms. I simply didn’t know what to make of their claims to happiness. How could someone’s happiness increase when all the material sources of pleasure and distraction had been removed? At that age, the nature of my own mind did not interest me—only my life did. And I was utterly oblivious to how different life would be if the quality of my mind were to change. Our minds are all we have. They are all we have ever had. And they are all we can offer others. This might not be obvious, especially when there are aspects of your life that seem in need of improvement—when your goals are unrealized, or you are struggling to find a career, or you have relationships that need repairing. But it’s the truth. Every experience you have ever had has been shaped by your mind. Every relationship is as good or as bad as it is because of the minds involved. If you are perpetually angry, depressed, confused, and unloving, or your attention is elsewhere, it won’t matter how successful you become or who is in your life—you won’t enjoy any of it. Most of us could easily compile a list of goals we want to achieve or personal problems that need to be solved. But what is the real significance of every item on such a list? Everything we want to accomplish—to paint the house, learn a new language, find a better job—is something that promises that, if done, it would allow us to finally relax and enjoy our lives in the present. Generally speaking, this is a false hope. I’m not denying the importance of achieving one’s goals, maintaining one’s health, or keeping one’s children clothed and fed—but most of us spend our time seeking happiness and security without acknowledging the underlying purpose of our search. Each of us is looking for a path back to the present: We are trying to find good enough reasons to be satisfied now. Acknowledging that this is the structure of the game we are playing allows us to play it differently. How we pay attention to the present moment largely determines the character of our experience and, therefore, the quality of our lives. Mystics and contemplatives have made this claim for ages—but a growing body of scientific research now bears it out. A few years after my first painful encounter with solitude, in the winter of 1987, I took the drug 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine (MDMA), commonly known as Ecstasy, and my sense of the human mind’s potential shifted profoundly. Although MDMA would become ubiquitous at dance clubs and “raves” in the 1990s, at that time I didn’t know anyone of my generation who had tried it. One evening, a few months before my twentieth birthday, a close friend and I decided to take the drug. The setting of our experiment bore little resemblance to the conditions of Dionysian abandon under which MDMA is now often consumed. We were alone in a house, seated across from each other on opposite ends of a couch, and engaged in quiet conversation as the chemical worked its way into our heads. Unlike other drugs with which we were by then familiar (marijuana and alcohol), MDMA produced no feeling of distortion in our senses. Our minds seemed completely clear. In the midst of this ordinariness, however, I was suddenly struck by the knowledge that I loved my friend. This shouldn’t have surprised me—he was, after all, one of my best friends. However, at that age I was not in the habit of dwelling on how much I loved the men in my life. Now I could feel that I loved him, and this feeling had ethical implications that suddenly seemed as profound as they now sound pedestrian on the page: I wanted him to be happy. That conviction came crashing down with such force that something seemed to give way inside me. In fact, the insight appeared to restructure my mind. My capacity for envy, for instance—the sense of being diminished by the happiness or success of another person—seemed like a symptom of mental illness that had vanished without a trace. I could no more have felt envy at that moment than I could have wanted to poke out my own eyes. What did I care if my friend was better looking or a better athlete than I was? If I could have bestowed those gifts on him, I would have. Truly wanting him to be happy made his happiness my own. A certain euphoria was creeping into these reflections, perhaps, but the general feeling remained one of absolute sobriety—and of moral and emotional clarity unlike any I had ever known. It would not be too strong to say that I felt sane for the first time in my life. And yet the change in my consciousness seemed entirely straightforward. I was simply talking to my friend—about what, I don’t recall—and realized that I had ceased to be concerned about myself. I was no longer anxious, self-critical, guarded by irony, in competition, avoiding embarrassment, ruminating about the past and future, or making any other gesture of thought or attention that separated me from him. I was no longer watching myself through another person’s eyes. And then came the insight that irrevocably transformed my sense of how good human life could be. I was feeling boundless love for one of my best friends, and I suddenly realized that if a stranger had walked through the door at that moment, he or she would have been fully included in this love. Love was at bottom impersonal—and deeper than any personal history could justify. Indeed, a transactional form of love—I love you because…—now made no sense at all. The interesting thing about this final shift in perspective was that it was not driven by any change in the way I felt. I was not overwhelmed by a new feeling of love. The insight had more the character of a geometric proof: It was as if, having glimpsed the properties of one set of parallel lines, I suddenly understood what must be common to them all. The moment I could find a voice with which to speak, I discovered that this epiphany about the universality of love could be readily communicated. My friend got the point at once: All I had to do was ask him how he would feel in the presence of a total stranger at that moment, and the same door opened in his mind. It was simply obvious that love, compassion, and joy in the joy of others extended without limit. The experience was not of love growing but of its being no longer obscured. Love was—as advertised by mystics and crackpots through the ages—a state of being. How had we not seen this before? And how could we overlook it ever again? It would take me many years to put this experience into context. Until that moment, I had viewed organized religion as merely a monument to the ignorance and superstition of our ancestors. But I now knew that Jesus, the Buddha, Lao Tzu, and the other saints and sages of history had not all been epileptics, schizophrenics, or frauds. I still considered the world’s religions to be mere intellectual ruins, maintained at enormous economic and social cost, but I now understood that important psychological truths could be found in the rubble. Twenty percent of Americans describe themselves as “spiritual but not religious.” Although the claim seems to annoy believers and atheists equally, separating spirituality from religion is a perfectly reasonable thing to do. It is to assert two important truths simultaneously: Our world is dangerously riven by religious doctrines that all educated people should condemn, and yet there is more to understanding the human condition than science and secular culture generally admit. One purpose of this book is to give both these convictions intellectual and empirical support. Before going any further, I should address the animosity that many readers feel toward the term spiritual. Whenever I use the word, as in referring to meditation as a “spiritual practice,” I hear from fellow skeptics and atheists who think that I have committed a grievous error.The word spirit comes from the Latin spiritus, which is a translation of the Greek pneuma, meaning “breath.” Around the thirteenth century, the term became entangled with beliefs about immaterial souls, supernatural beings, ghosts, and so forth. It acquired other meanings as well: We speak of the spirit of a thing as its most essential principle or of certain volatile substances and liquors as spirits. Nevertheless, many nonbelievers now consider all things “spiritual” to be contaminated by medieval superstition. I do not share their semantic concerns.[1] Yes, to walk the aisles of any “spiritual” bookstore is to confront the yearning and credulity of our species by the yard, but there is no other term—apart from the even more problematic mystical or the more restrictive contemplative—with which to discuss the efforts people make, through meditation, psychedelics, or other means, to fully bring their minds into the present or to induce nonordinary states of consciousness. And no other word links this spectrum of experience to our ethical lives. Throughout this book, I discuss certain classically spiritual phenomena, concepts, and practices in the context of our modern understanding of the human mind—and I cannot do this while restricting myself to the terminology of ordinary experience. So I will use spiritual, mystical, contemplative, and transcendent without further apology. However, I will be precise in describing the experiences and methods that merit these terms. For many years, I have been a vocal critic of religion, and I won’t ride the same hobbyhorse here. I hope that I have been sufficiently energetic on this front that even my most skeptical readers will trust that my bullshit detector remains well calibrated as we advance over this new terrain. Perhaps the following assurance can suffice for the moment: Nothing in this book needs to be accepted on faith. Although my focus is on human subjectivity—I am, after all, talking about the nature of experience itself—all my assertions can be tested in the laboratory of your own life. In fact, my goal is to encourage you to do just that. Authors who attempt to build a bridge between science and spirituality tend to make one of two mistakes: Scientists generally start with an impoverished view of spiritual experience, assuming that it must be a grandiose way of describing ordinary states of mind—parental love, artistic inspiration, awe at the beauty of the night sky. In this vein, one finds Einstein’s amazement at the intelligibility of Nature’s laws described as though it were a kind of mystical insight. New Age thinkers usually enter the ditch on the other side of the road: They idealize altered states of consciousness and draw specious connections between subjective experience and the spookier theories at the frontiers of physics. Here we are told that the Buddha and other contemplatives anticipated modern cosmology or quantum mechanics and that by transcending the sense of self, a person can realize his identity with the One Mind that gave birth to the cosmos. In the end, we are left to choose between pseudo-spirituality and pseudo-science. Few scientists and philosophers have developed strong skills of introspection—in fact, most doubt that such abilities even exist. Conversely, many of the greatest contemplatives know nothing about science. But there is a connection between scientific fact and spiritual wisdom, and it is more direct than most people suppose. Although the insights we can have in meditation tell us nothing about the origins of the universe, they do confirm some well-established truths about the human mind: Our conventional sense of self is an illusion; positive emotions, such as compassion and patience, are teachable skills; and the way we think directly influences our experience of the world. There is now a large literature on the psychological benefits of meditation. Different techniques produce long-lasting changes in attention, emotion, cognition, and pain perception, and these correlate with both structural and functional changes in the brain. This field of research is quickly growing, as is our understanding of self-awareness and related mental phenomena. Given recent advances in neuroimaging technology, we no longer face a practical impediment to investigating spiritual insights in the context of science. Spirituality must be distinguished from religion—because people of every faith, and of none, have had the same sorts of spiritual experiences. While these states of mind are usually interpreted through the lens of one or another religious doctrine, we know that this is a mistake. Nothing that a Christian, a Muslim, and a Hindu can experience—self-transcending love, ecstasy, bliss, inner light—constitutes evidence in support of their traditional beliefs, because their beliefs are logically incompatible with one another. A deeper principle must be at work. That principle is the subject of this book: The feeling that we call “I” is an illusion. There is no discrete self or ego living like a Minotaur in the labyrinth of the brain. And the feeling that there is—the sense of being perched somewhere behind your eyes, looking out at a world that is separate from yourself—can be altered or entirely extinguished. Although such experiences of “self-transcendence” are generally thought about in religious terms, there is nothing, in principle, irrational about them. From both a scientific and a philosophical point of view, they represent a clearer understanding of the way things are. Deepening that understanding, and repeatedly cutting through the illusion of the self, is what is meant by “spirituality” in the context of this book. Confusion and suffering may be our birthright, but wisdom and happiness are available. The landscape of human experience includes deeply transformative insights about the nature of one’s own consciousness, and yet it is obvious that these psychological states must be understood in the context of neuroscience, psychology, and related fields. I am often asked what will replace organized religion. The answer, I believe, is nothing and everything. Nothing need replace its ludicrous and divisive doctrines—such as the idea that Jesus will return to earth and hurl unbelievers into a lake of fire, or that death in defense of Islam is the highest good. These are terrifying and debasing fictions. But what about love, compassion, moral goodness, and self-transcendence? Many people still imagine that religion is the true repository of these virtues. To change this, we must talk about the full range of human experience in a way that is as free of dogma as the best science already is. This book is by turns a seeker’s memoir, an introduction to the brain, a manual of contemplative instruction, and a philosophical unraveling of what most people consider to be the center of their inner lives: the feeling of self we call “I.” I have not set out to describe all the traditional approaches to spirituality and to weigh their strengths and weaknesses. Rather, my goal is to pluck the diamond from the dunghill of esoteric religion. There is a diamond there, and I have devoted a fair amount of my life to contemplating it, but getting it in hand requires that we remain true to the deepest principles of scientific skepticism and make no obeisance to tradition. Where I do discuss specific teachings, such as those of Buddhism or Advaita Vedanta, it isn’t my purpose to provide anything like a comprehensive account. Readers who are loyal to any one spiritual tradition or who specialize in the academic study of religion, may view my approach as the quintessence of arrogance. I consider it, rather, a symptom of impatience. There is barely time enough in a book—or in a life—to get to the point. Just as a modern treatise on weaponry would omit the casting of spells and would very likely ignore the slingshot and the boomerang, I will focus on what I consider the most promising lines of spiritual inquiry. My hope is that my personal experience will help readers to see the nature of their own minds in a new light. A rational approach to spirituality seems to be what is missing from secularism and from the lives of most of the people I meet. The purpose of this book is to offer readers a clear view of the problem, along with some tools to help them solve it for themselves. THE SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS One day, you will find yourself outside this world which is like a mother’s womb. You will leave this earth to enter, while you are yet in the body, a vast expanse, and know that the words, “God’s earth is vast,” name this region from which the saints have come. Jalal-ud-Din Rumi I share the concern, expressed by many atheists, that the terms spiritual and mystical are often used to make claims not merely about the quality of certain experiences but about reality at large. Far too often, these words are invoked in support of religious beliefs that are morally and intellectually grotesque. Consequently, many of my fellow atheists consider all talk of spirituality to be a sign of mental illness, conscious imposture, or self-deception. This is a problem, because millions of people have had experiences for which spiritual and mystical seem the only terms available. Many of the beliefs people form on the basis of these experiences are false. But the fact that most atheists will view a statement like Rumi’s above as a symptom of the man’s derangement grants a kernel of truth to the rantings of even our least rational opponents. The human mind does, in fact, contain vast expanses that few of us ever discover. And there is something degraded and degrading about many of our habits of attention as we shop, gossip, argue, and ruminate our way to the grave. Perhaps I should speak only for myself here: It seems to me that I spend much of my waking life in a neurotic trance. My experiences in meditation suggest, however, that an alternative exists. It is possible to stand free of the juggernaut of self, if only for moments at a time. Most cultures have produced men and women who have found that certain deliberate uses of attention—meditation, yoga, prayer—can transform their perception of the world. Their efforts generally begin with the realization that even in the best of circumstances, happiness is elusive. We seek pleasant sights, sounds, tastes, sensations, and moods. We satisfy our intellectual curiosity. We surround ourselves with friends and loved ones. We become connoisseurs of art, music, or food. But our pleasures are, by their very nature, fleeting. If we enjoy some great professional success, our feelings of accomplishment remain vivid and intoxicating for an hour, or perhaps a day, but then they subside. And the search goes on. The effort required to keep boredom and other unpleasantness at bay must continue, moment to moment. Ceaseless change is an unreliable basis for lasting fulfillment. Realizing this, many people begin to wonder whether a deeper source of well-being exists. Is there a form of happiness beyond the mere repetition of pleasure and avoidance of pain? Is there a happiness that does not depend upon having one’s favorite foods available, or friends and loved ones within arm’s reach, or good books to read, or something to look forward to on the weekend? Is it possible to be happy before anything happens, before one’s desires are gratified, in spite of life’s difficulties, in the very midst of physical pain, old age, disease, and death? We are all, in some sense, living our answer to this question—and most of us are living as though the answer were “no.” No, nothing is more profound than repeating one’s pleasures and avoiding one’s pains; nothing is more profound than seeking satisfaction—sensory, emotional, and intellectual—moment after moment. Just keep your foot on the gas until you run out of road. Certain people, however, come to suspect that human existence might encompass more than this. Many of them are led to suspect this by religion—by the claims of the Buddha or Jesus or some other celebrated figure. And such people often begin to practice various disciplines of attention as a means of examining their experience closely enough to see whether a deeper source of well-being exists. They may even sequester themselves in caves or monasteries for months or years at a time to facilitate this process. Why would a person do this? No doubt there are many motives for retreating from the world, and some of them are psychologically unhealthy. In its wisest form, however, the exercise amounts to a very simple experiment. Here is its logic: If there exists a source of psychological well-being that does not depend upon merely gratifying one’s desires, then it should be present even when all the usual sources of pleasure have been removed. Such happiness should be available to a person who has declined to marry her high school sweetheart, renounced her career and material possessions, and gone off to a cave or some other spot that is inhospitable to ordinary aspirations. One clue to how daunting most people would find such a project is the fact that solitary confinement—which is essentially what we are talking about—is considered a punishment inside a maximum-security prison. Even when forced to live among murderers and rapists, most people still prefer the company of others to spending any significant amount of time alone in a room. And yet contemplatives in many traditions claim to experience extraordinary depths of psychological well-being while living in isolation for vast stretches of time. How should we interpret this? Either the contemplative literature is a catalogue of religious delusion, psychopathology, and deliberate fraud, or people have been having liberating insights under the name of “spirituality” and “mysticism” for millennia. Unlike many atheists, I have spent much of my life seeking experiences of the kind that gave rise to the world’s religions. Despite the painful results of my first few days alone in the mountains of Colorado, I later studied with a wide range of monks, lamas, yogis, and other contemplatives, some of whom had lived for decades in seclusion doing nothing but meditating. In the process, I spent two years on silent retreat myself (in increments of one week to three months), practicing various techniques of meditation for twelve to eighteen hours a day. I can attest that when one goes into silence and meditates for weeks or months at a time, doing nothing else—not speaking, reading, or writing, just making a moment-to-moment effort to observe the contents of consciousness—one has experiences that are generally unavailable to people who have not undertaken a similar practice. I believe that such states of mind have a lot to say about the nature of consciousness and the possibilities of human well-being. Leaving aside the metaphysics, mythology, and sectarian dogma, what contemplatives throughout history have discovered is that there is an alternative to being continuously spellbound by the conversation we are having with ourselves; there is an alternative to simply identifying with the next thought that pops into consciousness. And glimpsing this alternative dispels the conventional illusion of the self. Most traditions of spirituality also suggest a connection between self-transcendence and living ethically. Not all good feelings have an ethical valence, and pathological forms of ecstasy surely exist. I have no doubt, for instance, that many suicide bombers feel extraordinarily good just before they detonate themselves in a crowd. But there are also forms of mental pleasure that are intrinsically ethical. As I indicated earlier, for some states of consciousness, a phrase like “boundless love” does not seem overblown. It is decidedly inconvenient for the forces of reason and secularism that if someone wakes up tomorrow feeling boundless love for all sentient beings, the only people likely to acknowledge the legitimacy of his experience will be representatives of one or another Iron Age religion or New Age cult. Most of us are far wiser than we may appear to be. We know how to keep our relationships in order, to use our time well, to improve our health, to lose weight, to learn valuable skills, and to solve many other riddles of existence. But following even the straight and open path to happiness is hard. If your best friend were to ask how she could live a better life, you would probably find many useful things to say, and yet you might not live that way yourself. On one level, wisdom is nothing more profound than an ability to follow one’s own advice. However, there are deeper insights to be had about the nature of our minds. Unfortunately, they have been discussed entirely in the context of religion and, therefore, have been shrouded in fallacy and superstition for all of human history. The problem of finding happiness in this world arrives with our first breath—and our needs and desires seem to multiply by the hour. To spend any time in the presence of a young child is to witness a mind ceaselessly buffeted by joy and sorrow. As we grow older, our laughter and tears become less gratuitous, perhaps, but the same process of change continues: One roiling complex of thought and emotion is followed by the next, like waves in the ocean. Seeking, finding, maintaining, and safeguarding our well-being is the great project to which we all are devoted, whether or not we choose to think in these terms. This is not to say that we want mere pleasure or the easiest possible life. Many things require extraordinary effort to accomplish, and some of us learn to enjoy the struggle. Any athlete knows that certain kinds of pain can be exquisitely pleasurable. The burn of lifting weights, for instance, would be excruciating if it were a symptom of terminal illness. But because it is associated with health and fitness, most people find it enjoyable. Here we see that cognition and emotion are not separate. The way we think about experience can completely determine how we feel about it. And we always face tensions and trade-offs. In some moments we crave excitement and in others rest. We might love the taste of wine and chocolate, but rarely for breakfast. Whatever the context, our minds are perpetually moving—generally toward pleasure (or its imagined source) and away from pain. I am not the first person to have noticed this. Our struggle to navigate the space of possible pains and pleasures produces most of human culture. Medical science attempts to prolong our health and to reduce the suffering associated with illness, aging, and death. All forms of media cater to our thirst for information and entertainment. Political and economic institutions seek to ensure our peaceful collaboration with one another—and the police or the military is summoned when they fail. Beyond ensuring our survival, civilization is a vast machine invented by the human mind to regulate its states. We are ever in the process of creating and repairing a world that our minds want to be in. And wherever we look, we see the evidence of our successes and our failures. Unfortunately, failure enjoys a natural advantage. Wrong answers to any problem outnumber right ones by a wide margin, and it seems that it will always be easier to break things than to fix them. Despite the beauty of our world and the scope of human accomplishment, it is hard not to worry that the forces of chaos will triumph—not merely in the end but in every moment. Our pleasures, however refined or easily acquired, are by their very nature fleeting. They begin to subside the instant they arise, only to be replaced by fresh desires or feelings of discomfort. You can’t get enough of your favorite meal until, in the next moment, you find you are so stuffed as to nearly require the attention of a surgeon—and yet, by some quirk of physics, you still have room for dessert. The pleasure of dessert lasts a few seconds, and then the lingering taste in your mouth must be banished by a drink of water. The warmth of the sun feels wonderful on your skin, but soon it becomes too much of a good thing. A move to the shade brings immediate relief, but after a minute or two, the breeze is just a little too cold. Do you have a sweater in the car? Let’s take a look. Yes, there it is. You’re warm now, but you notice that your sweater has seen better days. Does it make you look carefree or disheveled? Perhaps it is time to go shopping for something new. And so it goes. We seem to do little more than lurch between wanting and not wanting. Thus, the question naturally arises: Is there more to life than this? Might it be possible to feel much better (in every sense of better) than one tends to feel? Is it possible to find lasting fulfillment despite the inevitability of change? Spiritual life begins with a suspicion that the answer to such questions could well be “yes.” And a true spiritual practitioner is someone who has discovered that it is possible to be at ease in the world for no reason, if only for a few moments at a time, and that such ease is synonymous with transcending the apparent boundaries of the self. Those who have never tasted such peace of mind might view these assertions as highly suspect. Nevertheless, it is a fact that a condition of selfless well-being is there to be glimpsed in each moment. Of course, I’m not claiming to have experienced all such states, but I meet many people who appear to have experienced none of them—and these people often profess to have no interest in spiritual life. This is not surprising. The phenomenon of self-transcendence is generally sought and interpreted in a religious context, and it is precisely the sort of experience that tends to increase a person’s faith. How many Christians, having once felt their hearts grow as wide as the world, will decide to ditch Christianity and proclaim their atheism? Not many, I suspect. How many people who have never felt anything of the kind become atheists? I don’t know, but there is little doubt that these mental states act as a kind of filter: The faithful count them in support of ancient dogma, and their absence gives nonbelievers further reason to reject religion. This is a difficult problem for me to address in the context of a book, because many readers will have no idea what I’m talking about when I describe certain spiritual experiences and might assume that the assertions I’m making must be accepted on faith. Religious readers present a different challenge: They may think they know exactly what I’m describing, but only insofar as it aligns with one or another religious doctrine. It seems to me that both these attitudes present impressive obstacles to understanding spirituality in the way that I intend. I can only hope that, whatever your background, you will approach the exercises presented in this book with an open mind. RELIGION, EAST AND WEST We are often encouraged to believe that all religions are the same: All teach the same ethical principles; all urge their followers to contemplate the same divine reality; all are equally wise, compassionate, and true within their sphere—or equally divisive and false, depending on one’s view. No serious adherents of any faith can believe these things, because most religions make claims about reality that are mutually incompatible. Exceptions to this rule exist, but they provide little relief from what is essentially a zero-sum contest of all against all. The polytheism of Hinduism allows it to digest parts of many other faiths: If Christians insist that Jesus Christ is the son of God, for instance, Hindus can make him yet another avatar of Vishnu without losing any sleep. But this spirit of inclusiveness points in one direction only, and even it has its limits. Hindus are committed to specific metaphysical ideas—the law of karma and rebirth, a multiplicity of gods—that almost every other major religion decries. It is impossible for any faith, no matter how elastic, to fully honor the truth claims of another. Devout Jews, Christians, and Muslims believe that theirs is the one true and complete revelation—because that is what their holy books say of themselves. Only secularists and New Age dabblers can mistake the modern tactic of “interfaith dialogue” for an underlying unity of all religions. I have long argued that confusion about the unity of religions is an artifact of language. Religion is a term like sports: Some sports are peaceful but spectacularly dangerous (“free solo” rock climbing); some are safer but synonymous with violence (mixed martial arts); and some entail little more risk of injury than standing in the shower (bowling). To speak of sports as a generic activity makes it impossible to discuss what athletes actually do or the physical attributes required to do it. What do all sports have in common apart from breathing? Not much. The term religion is hardly more useful. The same could be said of spirituality. The esoteric doctrines found within every religious tradition are not all derived from the same insights. Nor are they equally empirical, logical, parsimonious, or wise. They don’t always point to the same underlying reality—and when they do, they don’t do it equally well. Nor are all these teachings equally suited for export beyond the cultures that first conceived them. Making distinctions of this kind, however, is deeply unfashionable in intellectual circles. In my experience, people do not want to hear that Islam supports violence in a way that Jainism doesn’t, or that Buddhism offers a truly sophisticated, empirical approach to understanding the human mind, whereas Christianity presents an almost perfect impediment to such understanding. In many circles, to make invidious comparisons of this kind is to stand convicted of bigotry. In one sense, all religions and spiritual practices must address the same reality—because people of all faiths have glimpsed many of the same truths. Any view of consciousness and the cosmos that is available to the human mind can, in principle, be appreciated by anyone. It is not surprising, therefore, that individual Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Buddhists have given voice to some of the same insights and intuitions. This merely indicates that human cognition and emotion run deeper than religion. (But we knew that, didn’t we?) It does not suggest that all religions understand our spiritual possibilities equally well. One way of missing this point is to declare that all spiritual teachings are inflections of the same “Perennial Philosophy.” The writer Aldous Huxley brought this idea into prominence by publishing an anthology by that title. Here is how he justified the idea: Philosophia perennis—the phrase was coined by Leibniz; but the thing—the metaphysic that recognizes a divine Reality substantial to the world of things and lives and minds; the psychology that finds in the soul something similar to, or even identical with, divine Reality; the ethic that places man’s final end in the knowledge of the immanent and transcendent Ground of all being—the thing is immemorial and universal. Rudiments of the Perennial Philosophy may be found among the traditionary lore of primitive peoples in every region of the world, and in its fully developed forms it has a place in every one of the higher religions. A version of this Highest Common Factor in all preceding and subsequent theologies was first committed to writing more than twenty-five centuries ago, and since that time the inexhaustible theme has been treated again and again, from the standpoint of every religious tradition and in all the principal languages of Asia and Europe.[2] Although Huxley was being reasonably cautious in his wording, this notion of a “highest common factor” uniting all religions begins to break apart the moment one presses for details. For instance, the Abrahamic religions are incorrigibly dualistic and faith-based: In Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the human soul is conceived as genuinely separate from the divine reality of God. The appropriate attitude for a creature that finds itself in this circumstance is some combination of terror, shame, and awe. In the best case, notions of God’s love and grace provide some relief—but the central message of these faiths is that each of us is separate from, and in relationship to, a divine authority who will punish anyone who harbors the slightest doubt about His supremacy. The Eastern tradition presents a very different picture of reality. And its highest teachings—found within the various schools of Buddhism and the nominally Hindu tradition of Advaita Vedanta—explicitly transcend dualism. By their lights, consciousness itself is identical to the very reality that one might otherwise mistake for God. While these teachings make metaphysical claims that any serious student of science should find incredible, they center on a range of experiences that the doctrines of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam rule out-of-bounds. Of course, it is true that specific Jewish, Christian, and Muslim mystics have had experiences similar to those that motivate Buddhism and Advaita, but these contemplative insights are not exemplary of their faith. Rather, they are anomalies that Western mystics have always struggled to understand and to honor, often at considerable personal risk. Given their proper weight, these experiences produce heterodoxies for which Jews, Christians, and Muslims have been regularly exiled or killed. Like Huxley, anyone determined to find a happy synthesis among spiritual traditions will notice that the Christian mystic Meister Eckhart (ca. 1260–ca. 1327) often sounded very much like a Buddhist: “The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they should see God, as if He stood there and they here. This is not so. God and I, we are one in knowledge.” But he also sounded like a man bound to be excommunicated by his church—as he was. Had Eckhart lived a little longer, it seems certain that he would have been dragged into the street and burned alive for these expansive ideas. That is a telling difference between Christianity and Buddhism. In the same vein, it is misleading to hold up the Sufi mystic Al-Hallaj (858–922) as a representative of Islam. He was a Muslim, yes, but he suffered the most grisly death imaginable at the hands of his coreligionists for presuming to be one with God. Both Eckhart and Al-Hallaj gave voice to an experience of self-transcendence that any human being can, in principle, enjoy. However, their views were not consistent with the central teachings of their faiths. The Indian tradition is comparatively free of problems of this kind. Although the teachings of Buddhism and Advaita are embedded in more or less conventional religions, they contain empirical insights about the nature of consciousness that do not depend upon faith. One can practice most techniques of Buddhist meditation or the method of self-inquiry of Advaita and experience the advertised changes in one’s consciousness without ever believing in the law of karma or in the miracles attributed to Indian mystics. To get started as a Christian, however, one must first accept a dozen implausible things about the life of Jesus and the origins of the Bible—and the same can be said, minus a few unimportant details, about Judaism and Islam. If one should happen to discover that the sense of being an individual soul is an illusion, one will be guilty of blasphemy everywhere west of the Indus. There is no question that many religious disciplines can produce interesting experiences in suitable minds. It should be clear, however, that engaging a faith-based (and probably delusional) practice, whatever its effects, isn’t the same as investigating the nature of one’s mind absent any doctrinal assumptions. Statements of this kind may seem starkly antagonistic toward Abrahamic religions, but they are nonetheless true: One can speak about Buddhism shorn of its miracles and irrational assumptions. The same cannot be said of Christianity or Islam.[3] Western engagement with Eastern spirituality dates back at least as far as Alexander’s campaign in India, where the young conqueror and his pet philosophers encountered naked ascetics whom they called “gymnosophists.” It is often said that the thinking of these yogis greatly influenced the philosopher Pyrrho, the father of Greek skepticism. This seems a credible claim, because Pyrrho’s teachings had much in common with Buddhism. But his contemplative insights and methods never became part of any system of thought in the West. Serious study of Eastern thought by outsiders did not begin until the late eighteenth century. The first translation of a Sanskrit text into a Western language appears to have been Sir Charles Wilkins’s rendering of the Bhagavad Gita, a cornerstone text of Hinduism, in 1785. The Buddhist canon would not attract the attention of Western scholars for another hundred years.[4] The conversation between East and West started in earnest, albeit inauspiciously, with the birth of the Theosophical Society, that golem of spiritual hunger and self-deception brought into this world almost single-handedly by the incomparable Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky in 1875. Everything about Blavatsky seemed to defy earthly logic: She was an enormously fat woman who was said to have wandered alone and undetected for seven years in the mountains of Tibet. She was also thought to have survived shipwrecks, gunshot wounds, and sword fights. Even less persuasively, she claimed to be in psychic contact with members of the “Great White Brotherhood” of ascended masters—a collection of immortals responsible for the evolution and maintenance of the entire cosmos. Their leader hailed from the planet Venus but lived in the mythical kingdom of Shambhala, which Blavatsky placed somewhere in the vicinity of the Gobi Desert. With the suspiciously bureaucratic name “the Lord of the World,” he supervised the work of other adepts, including the Buddha, Maitreya, Maha Chohan, and one Koot Hoomi, who appears to have had nothing better to do on behalf of the cosmos than to impart its secrets to Blavatsky. [5] It is always surprising when a person attracts legions of followers and builds a large organization on their largesse while peddling penny-arcade mythology of this kind. But perhaps this was less remarkable in a time when even the best-educated people were still struggling to come to terms with electricity, evolution, and the existence of other planets. We can easily forget how suddenly the world had shrunk and the cosmos expanded as the nineteenth century came to a close. The geographical barriers between distant cultures had been stripped away by trade and conquest (one could now order a gin and tonic almost everywhere on earth), and yet the reality of unseen forces and alien worlds was a daily focus of the most careful scientific research. Inevitably, cross-cultural and scientific discoveries were mingled in the popular imagination with religious dogma and traditional occultism. In fact, this had been happening at the highest level of human thought for more than a century: It is always instructive to recall that the father of modern physics, Isaac Newton, squandered a considerable portion of his genius on the study of theology, biblical prophecy, and alchemy. The inability to distinguish the strange but true from the merely strange was common enough in Blavatsky’s time—as it is in our own. Blavatsky’s contemporary Joseph Smith, a libidinous con man and crackpot, was able to found a new religion on the claim that he had unearthed the final revelations of God in the hallowed precincts of Manchester, New York, written in “reformed Egyptian” on golden plates. He decoded this text with the aid of magical “seer stones,” which, whether by magic or not, allowed Smith to produce an English version of God’s Word that was an embarrassing pastiche of plagiarisms from the Bible and silly lies about Jesus’s life in America. And yet the resulting edifice of nonsense and taboo survives to this day. A more modern cult, Scientology, leverages human credulity to an even greater degree: Adherents believe that human beings are possessed by the souls of extraterrestrials who were condemned to planet Earth 75 million years ago by the galactic overlord Xenu. How was their exile accomplished? The old-fashioned way: These aliens were shuttled by the billions to our humble planet aboard a spacecraft that resembled a DC-8. They were then imprisoned in a volcano and blasted to bits with hydrogen bombs. Their souls survived, however, and disentangling them from our own can be the work of a lifetime. It is also expensive.[6] Despite the imponderables in her philosophy, Blavatsky was among the first people to announce in Western circles that there was such a thing as the “wisdom of the East.” This wisdom began to trickle westward once Swami Vivekananda introduced the teachings of Vedanta at the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893. Again, Buddhism lagged behind: A few Western monks living on the island of Sri Lanka were beginning to translate the Pali Canon, which remains the most authoritative record of the teachings of the historical Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama. However, the practice of Buddhist meditation wouldn’t actually be taught in the West for another half century. It is easy enough to find fault with romantic ideas about Eastern wisdom, and a tradition of such criticism sprang up almost the instant the first Western seeker sat cross-legged and attempted to meditate. In the late 1950s, the author and journalist Arthur Koestler traveled to India and Japan in search of wisdom and summarized his pilgrimage thus: “I started my journey in sackcloth and ashes, and came back rather proud of being a European.”[7] In The Lotus and the Robot, Koestler gives some of his reasons for being less than awed by his journey to the East. Consider, for example, the ancient discipline of hatha yoga. While now generally viewed as a system of physical exercises designed to increase a person’s strength and flexibility, in its traditional context hatha yoga is part of a larger effort to manipulate “subtle” features of the body unknown to anatomists. No doubt much of this subtlety corresponds to experiences that yogis actually have—but many of the beliefs formed on the basis of these experiences are patently absurd, and certain of the associated practices are both silly and injurious. Koestler reports that the aspiring yogi is traditionally encouraged to lengthen his tongue—even going so far as to cut the frenulum (the membrane that anchors the tongue to the floor of the mouth) and stretch the soft palate. What is the purpose of these modifications? They enable our hero to insert his tongue into his nasopharynx, thereby blocking the flow of air through the nostrils. His anatomy thus improved, a yogi can then imbibe subtle liquors believed to emanate directly from his brain. These substances—imagined, by recourse to further subtleties, to be connected to the retention of semen—are said to confer not only spiritual wisdom but immortality. This technique of drinking mucus is known as khechari mudra, and it is thought to be one of the crowning achievements of yoga. I’m more than happy to score a point for Koestler here. Needless to say, no defense of such practices will be found in this book. Criticism of Eastern wisdom can seem especially pertinent when coming from Easterners themselves. There is indeed something preposterous about well-educated Westerners racing East in search of spiritual enlightenment while Easterners make the opposite pilgrimage seeking education and economic opportunities. I have a friend whose own adventures may have marked a high point in this global comedy. He made his first trip to India immediately after graduating from college, having already acquired several yogic affectations: He had the requisite beads and long hair, but he was also in the habit of writing the name of the Hindu god Ram in Devanagari script over and over in a journal. On the flight to the motherland, he had the good fortune to be seated next to an Indian businessman. This weary traveler thought he had witnessed every species of human folly—until he caught sight of my friend’s scribbling. The spectacle of a Western-born Stanford graduate, of working age, holding degrees in both economics and history, devoting himself to the graphomaniacal worship of an imaginary deity in a language he could neither read nor understand was more than this man could abide in a confined space at 30,000 feet. After a testy exchange, the two travelers could only stare at each other in mutual incomprehension and pity—and they had ten hours yet to fly. There really are two sides to such a conversation, but I concede that only one of them can be made to look ridiculous. We can also grant that Eastern wisdom has not produced societies or political institutions that are any better than their Western counterparts; in fact, one could argue that India has survived as the world’s largest democracy only because of institutions that were built under British rule. Nor has the East led the world in scientific discovery. Nevertheless, there is something to the notion of uniquely Eastern wisdom, and most of it has been concentrated in or derived from the tradition of Buddhism. Buddhism has been of special interest to Western scientists for reasons already hinted at. It isn’t primarily a faith-based religion, and its central teachings are entirely empirical. Despite the superstitions that many Buddhists cherish, the doctrine has a practical and logical core that does not require any unwarranted assumptions. Many Westerners have recognized this and have been relieved to find a spiritual alternative to faith-based worship. It is no accident that most of the scientific research now done on meditation focuses primarily on Buddhist techniques. Another reason for Buddhism’s prominence among scientists has been the intellectual engagement of one of its most visible representatives: Tenzin Gyatso, the fourteenth Dalai Lama. Of course, the Dalai Lama is not without his critics. My late friend Christopher Hitchens meted out justice to “his holiness” on several occasions. He also castigated Western students of Buddhism for the “widely and lazily held belief that ‘Oriental’ religion is different from other faiths: less dogmatic, more contemplative, more . . . Transcendental,” and for the “blissful, thoughtless exceptionalism” with which Buddhism is regarded by many.[8] Hitch did have a point. In his capacity as the head of one of the four branches of Tibetan Buddhism and as the former leader of the Tibetan government in exile, the Dalai Lama has made some questionable claims and formed some embarrassing alliances. Although his engagement with science is far-reaching and surely sincere, the man is not above consulting an astrologer or “oracle” when making important decisions. I will have something to say in this book about many of the things that might have justified Hitch’s opprobrium, but the general thrust of his commentary here was all wrong. Several Eastern traditions are exceptionally empirical and exceptionally wise, and therefore merit the exceptionalism claimed by their adherents. Buddhism in particular possesses a literature on the nature of the mind that has no peer in Western religion or Western science. Some of these teachings are cluttered with metaphysical assumptions that should provoke our doubts, but many aren’t. And when engaged as a set of hypotheses by which to investigate the mind and deepen one’s ethical life, Buddhism can be an entirely rational enterprise. Unlike the doctrines of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the teachings of Buddhism are not considered by their adherents to be the product of infallible revelation. They are, rather, empirical instructions: If you do X, you will experience Y. Although many Buddhists have a superstitious and cultic attachment to the historical Buddha, the teachings of Buddhism present him as an ordinary human being who succeeded in understanding the nature of his own mind. Buddha means “awakened one”—and Siddhartha Gautama was merely a man who woke up from the dream of being a separate self. Compare this with the Christian view of Jesus, who is imagined to be the son of the creator of the universe. This is a very different proposition, and it renders Christianity, no matter how fully divested of metaphysical baggage, all but irrelevant to a scientific discussion about the human condition. The teachings of Buddhism, and of Eastern spirituality generally, focus on the primacy of the mind. There are dangers in this way of viewing the world, to be sure. Focusing on training the mind to the exclusion of all else can lead to political quietism and hive-like conformity. The fact that your mind is all you have and that it is possible to be at peace even in difficult circumstances can become an argument for ignoring obvious societal problems. But it is not a compelling one. The world is in desperate need of improvement—in global terms, freedom and prosperity remain the exception—and yet this doesn’t mean we need to be miserable while we work for the common good. In fact, the teachings of Buddhism emphasize a connection between ethical and spiritual life. Making progress in one domain lays a foundation for progress in the other. One can, for instance, spend long periods of time in contemplative solitude for the purpose of becoming a better person in the world—having better relationships, being more honest and compassionate and, therefore, more helpful to one’s fellow human beings. Being wisely selfish and being selfless can amount to very much the same thing. There are centuries of anecdotal testimony on this point—and, as we will see, the scientific study of the mind has begun to bear it out. There is now little question that how one uses one’s attention, moment to moment, largely determines what kind of person one becomes. Our minds—and lives—are largely shaped by how we use them. Although the experience of self-transcendence is, in principle, available to everyone, this possibility is only weakly attested to in the religious and philosophical literature of the West. Only Buddhists and students of Advaita Vedanta (which appears to have been heavily influenced by Buddhism) have been absolutely clear in asserting that spiritual life consists in overcoming the illusion of the self by paying close attention to our experience in the present moment.[9] As I wrote in my first book, The End of Faith, the disparity between Eastern and Western spirituality resembles that found between Eastern and Western medicine—with the arrow of embarrassment pointing in the opposite direction. Humanity did not understand the biology of cancer, develop antibiotics and vaccines, or sequence the human genome under an Eastern sun. Consequently, real medicine is almost entirely a product of Western science. Insofar as specific techniques of Eastern medicine actually work, they must conform, whether by design or by happenstance, to the principles of biology as we have come to know them in the West. This is not to say that Western medicine is complete. In a few decades, many of our current practices will seem barbaric. One need only ponder the list of side effects that accompany most medications to appreciate that these are terribly blunt instruments. Nevertheless, most of our knowledge about the human body—and about the physical universe generally—emerged in the West. The rest is instinct, folklore, bewilderment, and untimely death. An honest comparison of spiritual traditions, Eastern and Western, proves equally invidious. As manuals for contemplative understanding, the Bible and the Koran are worse than useless. Whatever wisdom can be found in their pages is never best found there, and it is subverted, time and again, by ancient savagery and superstition. Again, one must deploy the necessary caveats: I am not saying that most Buddhists or Hindus have been sophisticated contemplatives. Their traditions have spawned many of the same pathologies we see elsewhere among the faithful: dogmatism, anti-intellectualism, tribalism, otherworldliness. However, the empirical difference between the central teachings of Buddhism and Advaita and those of Western monotheism is difficult to overstate. One can traverse the Eastern paths simply by becoming interested in the nature of one’s own mind—especially in the immediate causes of psychological suffering—and by paying closer attention to one’s experience in every present moment. There is, in truth, nothing one need believe. The teachings of Buddhism and Advaita are best viewed as lab manuals and explorers’ logs detailing the results of empirical research on the nature of human consciousness. Nearly every geographical or linguistic barrier to the free exchange of ideas has now fallen away. It seems to me, therefore, that educated people no longer have a right to any form of spiritual provincialism. The truths of Eastern spirituality are now no more Eastern than the truths of Western science are Western. We are merely talking about human consciousness and its possible states. My purpose in writing this book is to encourage you to investigate certain contemplative insights for yourself, without accepting the metaphysical ideas that they inspired in ignorant and isolated peoples of the past. A final word of caution: Nothing I say here is intended as a denial of the fact that psychological well-being requires a healthy “sense of self”—with all the capacities that this vague phrase implies. Children need to become autonomous, confident, and self-aware in order to form healthy relationships. And they must acquire a host of other cognitive, emotional, and interpersonal skills in the process of becoming sane and productive adults. Which is to say that there is a time and a place for everything—unless, of course, there isn’t. No doubt there are psychological conditions, such as schizophrenia, for which practices of the sort I recommend in this book might be inappropriate. Some people find the experience of an extended, silent retreat psychologically destabilizing.[10] Again, an analogy to physical training seems apropos: Not everyone is suited to running a six-minute mile or bench-pressing his own body weight. But many quite ordinary people are capable of these feats, and there are better and worse ways to accomplish them. What is more, the same principles of fitness generally apply even to people whose abilities are limited by illness or injury. So I want to make it clear that the instructions in this book are intended for readers who are adults (more or less) and free from any psychological or medical conditions that could be exacerbated by meditation or other techniques of sustained introspection. If paying attention to your breath, to bodily sensations, to the flow of thoughts, or to the nature of consciousness itself seems likely to cause you clinically significant anguish, please check with a psychologist or a psychiatrist before engaging in the practices I describe. MINDFULNESS It is always now. This might sound trite, but it is the truth. It’s not quite true as a matter of neurology, because our minds are built upon layers of inputs whose timing we know must be different. [11] But it is true as a matter of conscious experience. The reality of your life is always now. And to realize this, we will see, is liberating. In fact, I think there is nothing more important to understand if you want to be happy in this world. But we spend most of our lives forgetting this truth—overlooking it, fleeing it, repudiating it. And the horror is that we succeed. We manage to avoid being happy while struggling to become happy, fulfilling one desire after the next, banishing our fears, grasping at pleasure, recoiling from pain—and thinking, interminably, about how best to keep the whole works up and running. As a consequence, we spend our lives being far less content than we might otherwise be. We often fail to appreciate what we have until we have lost it. We crave experiences, objects, relationships, only to grow bored with them. And yet the craving persists. I speak from experience, of course. As a remedy for this predicament, many spiritual teachings ask us to entertain unfounded ideas about the nature of reality—or at the very least to develop a fondness for the iconography and rituals of one or another religion. But not all paths traverse the same rough ground. There are methods of meditation that do not require any artifice or unwarranted assumptions at all. For beginners, I usually recommend a technique called vipassana (Pali for “insight”), which comes from the oldest tradition of Buddhism, the Theravada. One of the advantages of vipassana is that it can be taught in an entirely secular way. Experts in this practice generally acquire their training in a Buddhist context, and most retreat centers in the United States and Europe teach its associated Buddhist philosophy. Nevertheless, this method of introspection can be brought into any secular or scientific context without embarrassment. (The same cannot be said for the practice of chanting to Lord Krishna while banging a drum.) That is why vipassana is now being widely studied and adopted by psychologists and neuroscientists. The quality of mind cultivated in vipassana is almost always referred to as “mindfulness,” and the literature on its psychological benefits is now substantial. There is nothing spooky about mindfulness. It is simply a state of clear, nonjudgmental, and undistracted attention to the contents of consciousness, whether pleasant or unpleasant. Cultivating this quality of mind has been shown to reduce pain, anxiety, and depression; improve cognitive function; and even produce changes in gray matter density in regions of the brain related to learning and memory, emotional regulation, and self-awareness.[12] We will look more closely at the neurophysiology of mindfulness in a later chapter. Mindfulness is a translation of the Pali word sati. The term has several meanings in the Buddhist literature, but for our purposes the most important is “clear awareness.”

Let me warn the traveler who is about to enter this dimension: you cannot gain any experience from reading this book. The meditation is basically a technique of subjection to the inner self, which we know as conscience. The understanding gained from entering into it is so profound that you will never find words to explain it to others. The effect of this inner attentiveness will change your perspective on life so radically and rapidly that within a very few days many people will be astonished at your new attitudes and insight.”“Our Creator has given us an inner conditioning process to override our animal responses under stress. Through meditation we can pattern our responses from the soil of inner reason, for the secret of controlling ‘things’ lies in the proper response to the intuitive self. The dissolving of our animal feelings of need and hate will mark the beginning of our divine love for others.”-----In addition to free guided meditation we recommend the meditation techniques contained in the Overcoming Stress Fear and Pain Pack.
