In this podcast we are talking about a.) Buddhist Monks using Meth b.) How to elevate yourself & stand shoulder to shoulder with others c.) Do drugs “build” or “break” your ego?

The higher the pedestal, the longer the fall…

In this episode of Disrupting the Drift, Baron Baptiste and his long-time friend David Masters discuss a shocking article about an entire temple of Buddhist Monks who were recently defrocked and sent to rehab after testing positive for meth.

Many Westerners fall into guru worship, assuming that monks are more enlightened and have “arrived.”

The truth is, people are people… and you can stand shoulder to shoulder with anyone, because “gurus” are no different from you or me. How did a group of monks fall into drug use in the first place?

Listen to Baron and David discuss the lure of ego, the myth of enlightenment, and the dangers of putting others on a pedestal.
