Stephen Levine, an influential poet and Buddhist teacher, joins Ram Dass in a profound discussion about life, death, and spiritual growth. They explore how every experience, including dying, offers an opportunity to awaken beyond the illusion of separateness. Levine shares a moving story about an AIDS patient learning to approach pain with love rather than anger. They also talk about the importance of shared experiences and love in healing, and how embracing vulnerability can lead to deeper connections and personal transformation.
