In this episode Elizabeth reflects upon the provocative poem composed by the renowned contemporary teacher, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, entitled, “Looking Into the World.”
“It’s not a cozy poem,” says Elizabeth, “It’s a reflection on loneliness. It is an incantation to distrust. It is a tribute to the freedom and confidence that comes from standing on our own two feet.” Put your familiar and conventional views aside for this wonderful exploration.
“The Four Thoughts That Turn the Mind Toward the Dharma” from “Walking the Path of the Six Paramitas” Talk 1. May 29-30, 2021. Osel Ling, Crestone, CO.
