80. IBP: Tina Rasmussen PhD Concentrating on Practice The Imperfect Buddha Podcast
-
- Religione e spiritualità
Tina Rassmussen is one of our first meditation teachers on in a long while. Well, being a practice based series, this was inevitable. Tina was co-author of a book on jhana states and concentration that I have had on my shelf for a long time. Concentration is not the topic of our conversation, however. Here are some of the themes we explored;
• Compatibility issues between neo-Advaita and Buddhism
• Generational conceptions of practice; from Boomers to Millennials
• The need to evolve our understanding and ways of thinking about and describing awakening/enlightenment
• The phases and stages of a practising life
• Roadblocks, hurdles, maturation; limitations
• Critiquing the language we use to talk about self, ego, awakening
• The way belief shapes practice, perception, expectations and the contours of subjectivity
Enjoy the spring everyone and let’s all wish a swift end to this pandemic.
