Description
Opening with a guided "Jewel Tree" meditation, Robert Thurman in this episode gives an introduction the Buddhist concept of Bodhisattvas, Bodhichitta, the spirit of becoming perfectly awakened and to the role of motivation in Buddhism and in everyday interactions.
Using the classical imagery of the covered, leaky and poisoned vessels Thurman gives a teaching on the qualities needed to be an open minded, determined and well-intended student of Buddha Dharma and of life.
“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.”
