  • Four Maras with Anam Thubten
    2024/11/07

    In conversation with Anam Thubten, a meditation teacher trained in the remote Golok region of eastern Tibet and now residing in the Bay Area, we explore the Buddhist concept of the Four Maras, or four devils. These are understood not as external negative forces but as mental states that, when perceived differently, can lead to greater mental freedom and reduced fear. Depending on one’s context and environment, these transformative perspectives can be incorporated into both religious and secular practices.

  • Compassion with Prof. Dr. Julia Stenzel
    2024/10/17

    I am joined by Prof. Dr. Julia Stenzel from the Rangjung Yeshe Institute in Kathmandu to discuss the Buddhist concept of compassion, both in its modern and ancient forms. As this idea transfers from Indian and Tibetan traditions into Western perspectives, techniques and views are adapted to different practice environments. However, compassion is consistently regarded as an innate human quality.
