Buddhist Geeks|BG 118: An Unusually Hardcore Dharma Book Episode
Daniel Ingram, a Theravada meditation teacher and one of
our most popular guests, joins us again to discuss his recently
published book, Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha. In
discussing the book we dive into some of the more foundation
distinctions he makes, including that of the three trainings. Daniel
claims that the trainings in morality (or ethics), concentration (or
meditation), and insight (or wisdom) are distinct trainings, each
having their own unique gold standard. He explores each of these gold
standards and pays particular attention to the gold standard of
insight, which has to do with seeing the three characteristics of
experience—impermanence, suffering, and not-self.
Listen in for some geeky, technical, and hard-hitting dharma from one
of today's little known, yet extremely profound, American dharma
teachers.
This is part 1 of a two-part series. Listen to part 2, The Dharma Overground (airing next week).
