Mingyur Rinpoche - Awareness, Compassion, and Wisdom
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:

- 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.
