Real Love and the Soul (27:00) – Sharon Salzberg joins the stage and the shares her wisdom on the differences and similarities between the soul and what is known by Buddhists as the radiant mind. She talks about what “Real Love” is and how it can hold our difficult emotions in a way that truly transforms them.
“I was talking about “Real Love” in the context a profound sense of connection. So its like no part of ourselves is left out and no part of life is left out, it’s being fully connected.” – Sharon Salzberg
Everything Can Be a Practice (38:00) – The three talk about applying mindfulness to everything that we do. They explore how just about everything has the potential to be a practice.
Crazy Wisdom (47:50) – Musician and Buddhist teacher, David Nichtern, joins the group and conversation turns to David’s teacher, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche. David talks about his time with Chögyam Trungpa and his philosophy of “Crazy Wisdom.”
“First thought, best thought was a big Trungpa saying. Get your mind clean and then some kind of spontaneous insight usually comes out.” – David Nichtern
Overwhelming Radiance (1:04:15) – The group talks about the feeling of overwhelming radiance and auspicious coincidence that happens when coming into contact with certain teachers.
“One of the things many people report when they sit in front of Ram Dass, like when they do the mala ceremony, is a kind radiance or a feeling of being overwhelmed by some kind of energetic field. People start crying and they don’t know why. There is a real feeling of intoxication that happens, it is potent and remarkable. What is that experience?” – Duncan Trussell
