Happiness, Emptiness, Meditation - with Phillip, the Tibetan Buddhist Monk

Critical Mind, Embodied Spirit

#003 - What is it really like for a ‘westerner’ to live as a Buddhist monk? Phillip Gallenberger has been living as a monk in one of the largest monasteries in the world, the Tibetan Buddhist monastic university Sera Jey in Southern India, for well over a decade. In this episode he talks about his daily life in the monastery full of debate as an analytical approach to internalizing what the Buddha taught. Phillip also goes deep on the secret of happiness, the real meaning of emptiness, attainments in meditation (and why people don’t discuss them) as well the role of the body in Buddhist training and a lot more.
