Description

What is our perspective? How do we nurture a new perspective that is more interconnected with our fellow humans?
Lama Surya Das chats with Raghu and they recall the Lama’s first meeting with the “Big Maharajji” - and what that deeper reality represents beyond the body. Also, the Guru as a mirror that reflects true nature and also reflects so clearly that it helps us see through self deception.
Lama discusses the concept of “spiritual bypass” - how the ego uses spiritual practices to avoid our human foibles.
Finally, Lama discusses the truth of motivation, His Holiness the Dalai Lama quotes from the Buddhist canon all the time, “Everything rests on the tip of motivation.”
