0:00 41:29

In this episode, Wendy speaks with Tibetan Buddhist teacher Mingyur Rinpoche about how contemplative practice can lead us to awareness, compassion, and wisdom. Their conversation covers many topics, including:

• his involvement in early contemplative research; • translating concepts between Buddhism and science; • what Buddhists mean by "emptiness"; • non-conceptual meditation, open presence and foundational awareness; • the three kinds of self, and which one is like shaving foam; • the problem of othering; • making friends with panic and difficult emotions; • the experience of a "wandering" retreat; • and building trust through contemplative practice.
