Episode 13, Series 1: "Embracing Life with Wisdom & Compassion"
Featuring: Emily McRae, Ph.D.; Margaret Plews-Ogan, M.D.; Geshe Tenzin Wangyal; and Alejandro Chaoul-Reich, Ph.D.
“Truth is always joyful, though the journey to the truth may be painful,” writes Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche. Why do some people thrive when facing adversity while others struggle immensely? How can we use difficult challenges as a catalyst for positive transformation? This lively dialogue will explore the notions of wisdom and ignorance from the perspective of Tibetan Buddhist and Bön spirituality, alongside Western philosophical, physiological, psychological systems, looking at what these terms really mean and what they imply for the possibility of transforming difficult circumstances.

Episode 12, Series 1: "Embracing Life with Wisdom & Compassion"
Featuring: Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
When caught in ignorance you can feel deeply disconnected, unsure, uncertain, lost. You may feel you are not fully present, not at home in yourself. You doubt yourself and others and feel ill at ease. In a live online teaching, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche guides us in meeting any ignorance we are experiencing in our body, speech, and mind with openness and warmth, clearing and opening the pathways of wisdom that are inherent to our true nature. The broadcast marks the start of Month 6 in Rinpoche’s yearlong program, “Embracing Life with Wisdom & Compassion.” Free and open to all!
In advance of the broadcast Rinpoche encourages creating a bit of space for meditation in your house — in a quiet, peaceful location where you can feel some sense of warmth and connection to yourself. You might provide a comfortable cushion to sit on, and a candle or stick of incense. A supportive outer space can support your inner space during meditation.

Episode 11, Series 1: "Embracing Life with Wisdom & Compassion"
Featuring: Robert Thurman, Ph.D.; Barbara Fredrickson, Ph.D.; Geshe Tenzin Wangyal; and Alejandro Chaoul-Reich, Ph.D.
How do we balance the importance of honoring anger when it arises and not feeding it in a way that causes harm? Is it possible to separate out the wisdom aspects of anger, such as boundary-setting and clear-seeing, from its destructive side? What does it mean to transform anger into love, on a practical level? This lively dialogue will explore working with the energy of anger from the perspective of Tibetan Buddhist and Bön spirituality, alongside Western psychological approaches. The conversation will also explore both scientific and spiritual understandings on cultivating love and positive states of mind. Central to the inquiry will be the question of how to work with emotion that arises without suppressing or acting out in destructive ways, as well as how to apply antidotes that bring about transformative shifts in our energy and emotions.
