Description
In this podcast Professor Thurman discusses a famous Buddhist concept of the "four transcendences," or the "four thoughts that change the mind": 1. The preciousness of the human life of liberty and opportunity; 2. Realization of immediacy of death, empowering one to live one's best in the moment; 3. The inexorability of the effects of one's actions; and 4. The suffering of the "wheel of samsara" or "the ignorance-dominated life form."
