Luminous Darkness - with special guest Deborah Eden Tull Unlocking True Happiness
-
- Buddhism
Darkness is deeply misunderstood in today’s world; yet it offers powerful medicine, serenity, strength, healing, and regeneration. All insight, vision, creativity, and revelation arise from darkness. It is through learning to stay present and meet the dark with curiosity rather than judgment that we connect to an unwavering light within. Welcoming darkness with curiosity, rather than fear or judgment, enables us to access our innate capacity for compassion and collective healing.
Join us as we interview Zen meditation and mindfulness teacher, author, activist, and sustainability educator Deborah Eden Tull about her new book, Luminous Darkness: An Engaged Buddhist Approach to Embracing the Unknown.
RADIO VERSION
Tull shows us how the labeling of darkness as “negative” becomes a collective excuse to justify avoiding everything that makes us uncomfortable: racism, spiritual bypass, environmental destruction. We can only find the radical path to wholeness by learning to embrace the interplay of both darkness and light.
