This month:

You have mentioned the - wisdom of the body - several times. However, the body is also the place where we commonly think of our instincts and impulses. How do we differentiate between this wisdom and impulsiveness? 

In this podcast:

  • A short history of differing conceptions of ‘body’ and ‘nature’ East & West
  • The problem of evil as assisting everything to its ‘right’ place.
  • The human state on The Wheel of Life. The aspiration to full humanity. Why only humans have ethical codes?
  • The Arhat path, the Bull herding pictures 1 - 7 - the transformational path.
  • The story of the royal couple unnerved by the realisation of their own selfishness.
  • The passions are the Buddha Nature… the Bull also wants to come together with the herdsman.
