The human being is capable of becoming a good wolf. They have an excellent science of enlightenment and unenlightenment.
What if the wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism could help you find inner peace? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Robert Thurman, a leading American expert on Tibetan Buddhism and author of 'Man of Peace: The Illustrated Life Story of the Dalai Lama of Tibet'. Thurman dives deep into how the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism can be applied in today's hectic world.

Thurman, a Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University and President of Tibet House US, brings decades of experience and personal anecdotes from his friendship with the Dalai Lama. He explains the concept of Buddha nature and its significance, emphasizing that every human has the potential to cultivate their inner 'good wolf'.
The conversation also explores the Kala Chakra, a symbolic representation of the Buddha's influence on history, and how it can help optimize our planet. Thurman shares the Dalai Lama's inspiring approach to peace and non-violence, highlighting his refusal to make enemies and his efforts to transform adversaries into friends through vulnerability and compassion. Listeners will find practical advice on how to incorporate Buddhist teachings into their daily lives, offering a path to a more peaceful and enlightened existence.
