Down with the Dharma

Integral Theory, Secular Mindfulness, and Traditional Buddhism


Listen Later

John and Dat talk about the interest in Integral Theory by the late Buddhist socialist Michael Brooks, Ken Wilber's Integral theory itself, secular mindfulness, and traditional Buddhism. Dat presents his own integral framework to Buddhist practice called the Path of the Indestructible Heart. John presents his integral framework of the Four Modes of Knowledge Production.  Topics include Thien (Zen) Master Thich Quang Duc's self immolation in Vietnam in 1966 and a recent experiment by the Mind and Life Institute about advanced Tibetan yogis going into Tukdam in which their brain stops functioning but their consciousness is still in spirit in the heart.
