And, quite frankly, up until now in the history of buddhism, it's been all about feeding the right Wolf, largely for your own sake, although The Mahayana School has recognized that you need to go beyond that.
Ever wondered what really goes on inside your head? In this enlightening episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer sits down with Culadasa, a meditation master with over forty years of experience in Tibetan and Theravadan Buddhist traditions. Culadasa isn't just any meditation guru; he's also taught neuroscience and psychology at universities in Calgary and British Columbia. Now, he lives in the Arizona wilderness, leading the Dharma Treasure Buddhist Sangha.
This episode is the first part of a two-part series where Culadasa shares his profound understanding of how the mind works. He explains that grasping the mechanics of the mind is crucial before diving into advanced meditation techniques. If you've ever felt stuck or confused during meditation, this conversation could be your game-changer. Culadasa breaks down complex concepts into digestible insights. He discusses two ways we perceive experiences: moments of consciousness and the narrating mind.
These aren't just fancy terms; they are key to understanding how we process our daily lives. He also delves into the unconscious mind, splitting it into two major parts and explaining their roles in our thoughts and behaviors. But it’s not all technical jargon. Culadasa’s wisdom comes with practical advice on 'feeding the right wolf'—a nod to the podcast's central theme of nurturing the good within us.
This episode isn't just for those deep into meditation; it's for anyone curious about the inner workings of their mind and how to harness this knowledge for personal growth. So, if you're ready to radically reframe your understanding of the mind and take your meditation practice to new heights, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in and prepare to be enlightened!
