The Core of Historical Buddhist Practice: Meditation of Bliss

In this episode of "The Curious Mind Podcast", Gabriel Ellis, a doctor of Buddhism and psychotherapist, describes the core of the original Buddhist practice from a historical and scientific perspective: the meditation of bliss. In contrast to his ascetic contemporaries, who rejected any form of well-being as dangerous, the Buddha saw this meditative bliss as a path to liberation of the mind. If you apply the Buddhist teachings on dependent origination to this meditative bliss, you get a gradual refinement of well-being up to complete liberation.
