Awakening: A conversation With Rick Hanson

In conversation with my friend and esteemed colleague Rick Hanson. We spend 45 minutes discussing "ultimate matters," including cessation, nibbana, manifest and unmanifest qualities of the Absolute realm, awakening, identity, and conditioned versus unconditioned existence. We dove into these subjects stemming from ongoing dialogues about ultimate matters and in anticipation of the release of my book Demystifying Awakening: A Buddhist Path of Realization, Embodiment, and Freedom.

The discussion on “life is suffering” was especially helpful. As a person who looks to the silver lining, I had trouble getting past the “life is suffering” teaching in Buddhism. Sometimes there is joy and peace and unconditional love and it is also life. Sending love.

Thank you 🙏✨️💜
