The Truth of Karma & Being Here Now Under The Wish Fulfilling Jewel Tree of Tibet – Ep. 302
Opening with a short introduction to the first two stages of the Lam Rim (Path to Enlightenment), the preciousness of human life endowed with liberty and opportunity, and awareness of the immediacy of death, Robert Thurman gives a teaching on the inexorability of the cause and effect of evolutionary action.
This episode includes a recommendation of âBe Here Nowâ by Ram Dass and an in-depth exploration of non-duality, karma, causation and the Buddhaâs evolutionary theory of biology.
âTibetans call their cherished tradition of Buddhism a wish-fulfilling jewel tree for its power to generate bliss and enlightenment within all who absorb its teachings. This path to enlightenment, it is taught, requires more than a sitting meditation practice alone. With âThe Jewel Tree of Tibetâ, honored scholar and teacher Robert Thurman brings these insights to you as they were meant to be transmitted through the spoken word.â
