In this episode, Wendy speaks with Tibetan Buddhist teacher Mingyur Rinpoche about how contemplative practice can lead us to awareness, compassion, and wisdom. Their conversation covers many topics, including:

his involvement in early contemplative research;

translating concepts between Buddhism and science;

what Buddhists mean by "emptiness";

non-conceptual meditation, open presence and foundational awareness;

the three kinds of self, and which one is like shaving foam;

the problem of othering;

making friends with panic and difficult emotions;

the experience of a "wandering" retreat;

and building trust through contemplative practice.
