A Buddhist Master's Warning About AI | Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche Explains How to Meditate Properly, AI Gaining Consciousness & More

In this profound episode, Jordan sits down with Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche, a revered Buddhist master, doctor of Tibetan medicine, and global teacher of the Tummo (Inner Fire) practice. From his early life in Eastern Tibet to his mission of spreading ancient wisdom throughout the world, Tulku Lobsang shares insights into how the harmony between body, mind, and energy creates true happiness and health.

He explains the meaning behind Tummo, the ancient practice of awakening inner heat through breath, movement, and awareness, and how it unites body and mind in the present moment. Tulku Lobsang reveals his own daily routine, the value of sleep and reading, and how understanding balance in food and behaviour leads to lasting wellbeing.

As the conversation deepens, Tulku Lobsang offers an extraordinary perspective on meditation, describing its stages from waterfall-like chaos to the stillness of a calm ocean. He and Jordan explore AI and consciousness, and sharing a rare Buddhist view on whether artificial intelligence could one day possess awareness—and what lessons it would need to learn to truly be sentient.
