Episode notes

Tibet's deep psychology, meditative techniques and virtuous rituals offer far more transformational potential than merely sitting quietly following the breath. To call it, in buddhism view, means basically the way we see everything, you know. And then also the ritual. The last component i would add, maybe ritual assumes that it's baked in is community, right? But if we just pull one of those out without all those different things, we really miss the power of these transformative techniquesotoa only we miss the power, but something inside of us.

Dr. Miles Neale is among the leading voices of the current generation of Buddhist teachers and is a forerunner in the emerging field of Contemplative Psychotherapy. He is a licensed psychotherapist in private practice, an international speaker, and a faculty member of the Tibet House (US) and Weill Cornell Medical College.
