It's wisdom that liberates you, and the three layers are wisdom born of learning, wisdom born of critical thinking and, finally, wisdom born of deep concentration, or meditation in the deeper sense.
What if wisdom could unlock pure joy in your everyday life? In this episode of 'A Skeptic's Path to Enlightenment', Professor Robert Thurman, hailed by The New York Times as “the leading American expert on Tibetan Buddhism”, dives into the themes of his latest book, 'Wisdom Is Bliss'. Thurman breaks down the idea that Buddhism isn't just a belief system but a direct experience that reveals the beauty and joy of reality itself.
He unpacks how the Buddha was more of an educator and scientist than a religious figure, guiding us through the layers of wisdom that can lead to enlightenment and compassion. Thurman also delves into the concept of relativity, showing how expanding our sense of connectedness to everything and everyone can transform our lives. He touches on cultural influences, infinite energy, and the enigmatic journey of the Buddha towards enlightenment.
Whether you're new to Buddhism or a seasoned practitioner, this episode offers profound insights into how wisdom can truly be bliss.
