Description
In this extended podcast Robert A.F. Thurman discusses the significance of March 10th in Tibetan history, it's connections to the Ukraine and gives a teaching on the historical Buddha's perspective on conflict and engaging in defensive wars.
Opening with a deep dive into the historical context of the invasion of Tibet, Thurman details the mouse trap laid out by China in 1959 which led directly to His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama and the Tibetans fleeing into exile in India.
This episode concludes with an in-depth exploration of the qualities of ethical enlightened beings and Bodhisattvas and a call to action for solidarity for Tibet, Ukraine, Russia, China and the world’s democracies for dealing with the rise of petrol-based oligarchies fueling climate change.
