In this talk, Reggie comments on the esoteric tradition of Buddhist meditation that Chögyam Trungpa taught to Western students. He describes the terrifying experience of encountering a person who completely embodied empty open awareness: it inspired him to become naked to life.

This talk was given in 2009 at a public program in San Francisco, CA. To find out more about upcoming retreats, please visit www.dharmaocean.org

Episode 273: For the Welfare of All – Part I

In the second part of this talk on the training of a Bodhisattva, Reggie discusses the last five of the six paramitas: discipline, patience, exertion, meditation, and wisdom. Through examples, he shows how the truth of each paramita is not necessarily what we might think.

This talk was given at the 2003 Winter Dathün retreat held in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. To explore more of Reggie's teachings and guided meditations, please visit www.dharmaocean.org
