The Tibetan Buddhist Vajrayana path emphasizes devotion where the relationship between the student & the teacher grows throughout the entirety of the path cultivating compassion, wisdom and ultimately enlightenment. Yet, such devotion is well beyond blind faith or celebrity worship where the student and teacher share a deep appreciation of lineage and reality itself.  During this session, Ringu Tulku discusses how to cultivate a discerning attitude to avoid the potential pitfalls of devotion and how mindfulness-awareness meditation plays a central in expressing our intelligent heart. This talk took place on October 5, 2019 at the Whittier Room at Swarthmore Quaker Meeting. https://bodhicharya.org/ringu-tulku/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-wisdom-seat/message
