Ep. 96 - Crucial Questions: What IS Basic Goodness, Really?


Listen Later

Ethan discusses the often confusing term "Basic Goodness." He breaks down some thoughts on why the term—and the transformative experience it points toward—can be elusive and confusing. He also goes into some of the historical origins of the term that illuminate its meaning and offers tools for how to work with it to ask wise questions about our experience in both meditation and everyday life.

Check out all the cool offerings at Dharma Moon, including the free online event with David Nichtern and Duncan Trussell, "Meditation and Beginners Mind." Also check out upcoming in-person retreats in May and June.
