"The difference between the enlightened being and the un-enlightened being is: we are all struggling, but an enlightened being stops struggling over the struggles; and we struggle over the struggles. That is the truth of suffering." – ZaChoeje Rinpoche

In this episode ZaChoeje Rinpoche and Raghu dive into:

  • Growing up in India as a Tibetan refugee child, and becoming a monk
  • Being recognized as a Tulku (reincarnated Tibetan master) by His Holiness The Dalai Lama
  • Moving to the U.S. and founding Emaho Foundation a Tibetan Buddhist center serving the greater Phoenix area
  • Retranslating the Buddha's First Noble Truth (the truth of struggling)
  • Disentangling from getting caught in the story of the "Movie of Me" – the fixed idea of who we are
  • The role of devotion, faith, and guru in spiritual development through the lens of Tibetan Buddhism
  • Connecting with the true nature of the mind as clear light
  • An illuminating guided meditation practice on the sky like nature of mind and heart
