Podcasts about transcendent wisdom

Rashid Hughes seeks to bridge the worlds of contemplative practice and collective care. He is a proud graduate of the Howard University Department of Music and the Howard University School of Divinity. Rashid is a certified Mindfulness Teacher, a certified Yoga Instructor, a Restorative Justice Facilitator, and currently in training to become a Fire Pujari. All of Rashid's perspectives flow from the two wisdom traditions of contemplative and restorative practices. In 2019, Rashid co-founded the Heart Refuge Mindfulness Community, a community in Washington, DC that inspires Black, Indigneous, and People of Color (BIPOC) to live with love and courage in the face of systemic inequities and ongoing racial-violence. Out of his unwavering love for community care and healing, Rashid facilitates weekly mindfulness sessions to support BIPOC in living with joy, while also understanding and resolving the impact of trauma on their bodies and lives. Due to his interest in challenging the ideas and systems that uphold a culture of patriarchy today, he also facilitates mindfulness sessions for BIPOC masculine & male identifying people who are particularly committed to addressing issues of masculinity and the culture of patriarchy. As a Restorative Justice Facilitator, Rashid holds the title of Restorative Justice Program Specialist at the non-profit SchoolTalk Inc. in Washington, DC. In that role, he collaborates with DC schools to create restorative spaces for youth to envision healing-centered approaches to school discipline, accountability and community building. When school classrooms went virtual in 2020, Rashid launched SchoolTalk's Our School Our Voice initiative, a citywide collaboration between SchoolTalk and four schools in the District of Columbia. Our School Our Voice is student-designed, student-led, and rooted in Rashid's vision of creating peer groups for students to engage with other students from different communities and elevate their voices. In 2020, during the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic, Rashid created a contemplative practice, R.E.S.T.-A Practice for the Tired & Weary, to provide practical means for people to find clarity and confidence in the midst of such devastating and uncertain times. In 2021, Rashid expanded the R.E.S.T. practice into a 5-Week Online Course & Practice Group. In collaboration with the Garrison Institute's Fellowship Forum, Rashid joined Dr. Angel Acosta in conversation around the intersections of the R.E.S.T. practice, liberation and contemplative practice with a particular focus on how this practice is an antidote to the systems of capitalism and white supremacy. Rashid's writings have been published by Mindful Magazine, Lion's Roar Magazine, and his first peer reviewed essay on R.E.S.T. was featured in the Journal for Contemplative Inquiry's volume, Transcendent Wisdom and Transformative Action: Reflections from Black Contemplatives, a “special edition focusing on the insights and wisdom of Black contemplative practitioners, researchers, scholars, educators and artists. Today, Rashid is devoting his time to a new interest, exploring the role of ceremony and contemplative practice in creating the conditions for a more just and caring world.In this special episode, we discuss:Freedom and liberationFear as a path to clarityPurposeSpiritual practiceAuthenticityReclamationShared realityConsuming chaosR.E.S.TA modern wisdom goddess Connect with Rashid on his website or on Instagram @justbeandbreathe.Podcast music by Charles Kurtz+ Read transcript

In this episode Robert Thurman details the concept of emptiness, giving a teaching on the power of the mind to develop transcendent wisdom in order to understand reality as it is using critical thinking, debate, direct experience and meditation. This podcast includes discussions of: the scientific nature of the Buddha's teachings, the illusion-like nature of the appearance of reality, the three types of wisdom (wisdom born of learning, critical reflection, and meditative insight), and an explanation of the differences between Objective Selflessness and Subjective Selflessness. Thurman concludes this episode with a guided Four Keys of Selflessness meditation weaving in the modern understanding of quantum physics and the scientific method. “Tibetans call their cherished tradition of Buddhism a wish-fulfilling jewel tree for its power to generate bliss and enlightenment within all who absorb its teachings. This path to enlightenment, it is taught, requires more than a sitting meditation practice alone. With “The Jewel Tree of Tibet”, honored scholar and teacher Robert Thurman brings these insights to you as they were meant to be transmitted through the spoken word.” – Text from endorsement of “The Jewel Tree of Tibet” This episode is an excerpt from “The Jewel Tree of Tibet: The Enlightenment Engine of Tibetan Buddhism” 12-Part audio retreat by Robert Thurman, available from www.soundstrue.com.

༄༅། །བཅོམ་ལྡན་འདས་མ་ཤེས་རབ་ཀྱི་ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པའི་སྙིང་པོ། ། The Sūtra of the Heart of Transcendent Wisdom by Gyalwang Karmapa ཤེས་རབ་སྙིང་པོ། ། | The Heart Sūtra or Sherab Nyingpo The Heart Sūtra or Sherap Nyingpo (ཤེས་རབ་སྙིང་པོ་) is one of the most popular Buddhist sūtra and certainly among the most widely used and chanted sutra-s in Tibet. Its full title in Sanskrit is Bhagavatīprajñāpāramitāhṛdaya and in Tibetan བཅོམ་ལྡན་འདས་མ་ཤེས་རབ་ཀྱི་ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པའི་སྙིང་པོ་ which translates as The Heart of the Blessed Perfection of Wisdom. The followers of Mahāyāna Buddhism consider it as sacred literature that falls within the category of the words of the Buddha. Thus, it is placed within the Perfection of Wisdom (ཤེར་ཕྱིན་) section of the Kagyur (བཀའ་འགྱུར་) canon. According to the sūtra itself, the Heart Sūtra was taught by the Buddha while he was on Vulture Peak, Rajagṛha, with his monastic and bodhisattva followers. https://thongdrol.org/sherab-nyingpo/

Proverbs 13:20 (ESV) 20 Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise,     but the companion of fools will suffer harm. Proverbs 27:5-6 (ESV) 5 Better is open rebuke     than hidden love. 6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend;     profuse are the kisses of an enemy. Proverbs 27:17 (ESV) 17 Iron sharpens iron,     and one man sharpens another. Proverbs 18:24 (ESV) 24 A man of many companions may come to ruin,     but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.   Sermons from Cross of Christ Church.  For more resources, go to www.crossofchrist.com       

Proverbs 5 (ESV) Warning Against Adultery 5 My son, be attentive to my wisdom;     incline your ear to my understanding, 2 that you may keep discretion,     and your lips may guard knowledge. 3 For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey,     and her speech is smoother than oil, 4 but in the end she is bitter as wormwood,     sharp as a two-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death;     her steps follow the path to Sheol; 6 she does not ponder the path of life;     her ways wander, and she does not know it. 7 And now, O sons, listen to me,     and do not depart from the words of my mouth. 8 Keep your way far from her,     and do not go near the door of her house, 9 lest you give your honor to others     and your years to the merciless, 10 lest strangers take their fill of your strength,     and your labors go to the house of a foreigner, 11 and at the end of your life you groan,     when your flesh and body are consumed, 12 and you say, “How I hated discipline,     and my heart despised reproof! 13 I did not listen to the voice of my teachers     or incline my ear to my instructors. 14 I am at the brink of utter ruin     in the assembled congregation.” 15 Drink water from your own cistern,     flowing water from your own well. 16 Should your springs be scattered abroad,     streams of water in the streets? 17 Let them be for yourself alone,     and not for strangers with you. 18 Let your fountain be blessed,     and rejoice in the wife of your youth, 19     a lovely deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts fill you at all times with delight;     be intoxicated always in her love. 20 Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman     and embrace the bosom of an adulteress? 21 For a man's ways are before the eyes of the Lord,     and he ponders all his paths. 22 The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him,     and he is held fast in the cords of his sin. 23 He dies for lack of discipline,     and because of his great folly he is led astray. Proverbs 2:16-17 (ESV) 16 So you will be delivered from the forbidden woman,     from the adulteress with her smooth words, 17 who forsakes the companion of her youth     and forgets the covenant of her God;   Sermons from Cross of Christ Church.  For more resources, go to www.crossofchristoc.com

Proverbs 14:29-30 (ESV) 29 Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding,     but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly. 30 A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh,     but envy makes the bones rot. Proverbs 16:32 (ESV) 32 Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty,     and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. Proverbs 19:19 (ESV) 19 A man of great wrath will pay the penalty,     for if you deliver him, you will only have to do it again. Proverbs 22:24-25 (ESV) 24 Make no friendship with a man given to anger,     nor go with a wrathful man, 25 lest you learn his ways     and entangle yourself in a snare.   Sermons from Cross of Christ Church.  For more resources, go to www.crossofchristoc.com

In this episode Professor Thurman explains the concept of “intrinsic reality” and how it is different from the concept of “relational reality.” He continues by explaining “emptiness,” how it has often been misunderstood for nothingness, and how emptiness is the quality of the relationality of everything, the fact that everything is empty of any non-relational component. By internalizing our understanding of emptiness we realize what is called transcendent wisdom. Out of transcendent wisdom, transcendent love grows, powerful and skillful. This podcast was recorded on December 30, 2015 at the “New Year’s Yoga & Meditation Retreat” at Menla Mountain Retreat, taught by Sharon Salzberg, Robert Thurman, Carolyn Christie, & Brooke Myers.
