people who have really good lives seem the most unhappy later...they don't know the opportunities they have had in comparison, they also then cannot appreciate your life, because you always come up short. They insist on knowing and sharing their opinions, yuk
Outstanding! My first exposure to Robert Thurman. What a wonderfully compelling person. I must read some of his books. Thank you Dan Harris for what you are doing with these podcasts.
this was great interview I am a Nicherin Buddhist and from what I have learned to interpret from my practice for some 40 years I am in a nice alignment with Robert Thurman and interestingly enough I am casually working on a paper about understanding the beauty capitalism through a buddhist lens.
Professor Thurman is the only Buddhist scholar I can easily understand, although I still don’t understand what and how one reincarnates if one, and every living thing, under and above the sun, is without a self.
That is only one of the common interpretations. Reincarnation, to many, as in Zen, only means rebirths of self in life. We die and are reborn in life as selves. Now it's deeper, as you will realize if you commit to deep meditation; to really letting go of yourself- It is accepted that you go on after death, but simply that there is not definitive you and really that it cannot be described; this seems to be as far as Zen buddhists go, but it can be "felt" during deep experience.
It’s an imprint, he earned this good karma from his infinite previous lives, so he is faster in picking up Tibetan. Think holistic, this is not the only life that you lived, you were born infinitely into past and will born infinitely into future.
I love your skepticism Dan keep it up! They're likely is no God and their likely is no Nirvana or Supernatural. There is a way for us to cope with life in a healthier way and in a healthier perspective. You're doing good work! I'm sure you noticed that he avoided answering your question about evidence.
1% better everyday! 100 days is 100% better!

I'm glad I listened to this. Mr.Thurman's knowledge is very good and he cleared a few things up that may be worth repeating. Cheers!

DONT UNDEREXTIMATE COMMON PEOPLE
I simply don’t believe he was fluent in 10 weeks. Just clear bullshit.

Meditation is useless. I would challenge anyone who asserts otherwise.
