84 | Sacred Creativity

How do we break out of dualistic perception while still habituated to dualistic perception? In this episode we explore "sacred creativity," a way of understanding the view that bridges samsaric dualistic thinking and the nondual wisdom of buddhahood, the true nature of mind. Lama Zopa guides a meditation of shamatha (English: tranquility, or calm abiding) and meditative inquiry, an insight practice from the Tibetan that invokes, instills, and integrates prajna, precise knowing.
