Upaya Zen Center's Dharma Podcast show

Summary: Episode Description: In this session of the program, John Dunne explores and the discusses the nature of the mind through the lens of the text the Mind of Mahamudra, a compilation of philosophical works from the Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism. In it, he says the nature of the mind is described as, “pure lumosity in its nature, in which all can and does appear.” He asks, “what is anger? Is it something other than my mind? Instead of trying to get rid of it, you can transform it. You can see what it’s actual nature is… It can be very helpful when you’re caught in that emotion to see through it to its nature, therefore to lessen it’s hold on you.”<br> To help keep these podcasts freely available, we hope you will consider making a suggested donation of $25 to our <a title="Give to Upaya's Dharma Podcast Fund" href="https://www.upaya.org/give/fund.php?id=10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dharma Podcast Fund</a>.<br> <br> For Series description, please visit <a title="Part 1" href="https://www.upaya.org/2018/03/dunne-language-nondual-practice-1-8/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Part 1</a>.<br> To access the entire series, please click on the link below:<br><br> <a title="John Dunne Upaya Podcast Series: Language and Non-dual Practice" href="https://www.upaya.org/2018/04/dunne-language-nondual-practice-series-8-parts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">John Dunne Upaya Podcast Series: Language and Non-dual Practice</a><br>
