Kyabje Kalu Rinpoche: Lineage, Renunciation, and Engaged Buddhism (#120)

This episode of the Wisdom Podcast, recorded live as a Wisdom Dharma Chat, features a conversation with Kyabje Kalu Rinpoche, the lineage holder of Shangpa Kagyu. Rinpoche and Daniel discuss  what it means to be a lineage holder; how lineage helps preserve the Dharma; the difference between tradition and lineage; how to connect with a lineage; how to think about doubt in the practice; how and why renunciation is important for our lifelong practice, including how Rinpoche has applied the practice of renunciation in his own life; what it’s like to be recognized and trained as a tulku in today’s world; Rinpoche’s latest social engagement projects; why retreat is important, and the kind of joy you can discover on long retreat; and much more.
