Pills – A Means to Ingest Meditation with James Gentry
<p>Material objects occupy a particular place in contemplative systems. In this episode, I speak with James Gentry about meditation-infused pills and their role in Tibetan Buddhist practice.</p> <p>We discuss how these pills are made and distributed during rituals called drupchen, and what it means to unite mind and matter in this way. These practices were designed to be relevant for different kinds of people, from accomplished meditators to illiterate common folk, and we discuss the commentaries that describe their making and significance.</p> <p>We also look at the importance of Avalokiteśvara practices in this context, particularly the manuals authored by Karma Chakmé in the seventeenth century.</p> <p>A conversation about the material dimensions of meditation and how contemplative traditions have worked with the relationship between substances and spiritual practice.</p> <p><a href="https://recentglobe.uni-leipzig.de/forschung/forschungsprojekte/kcct">Khyentse Center for Contemplative Traditions</a></p> <p><a href="https://recentglobe.uni-leipzig.de/">ReCentGlobe</a></p>

On the Practice of Spiritual Devotion with Renée Ford
<p>In Vajrayāna Buddhism, devotion is an integral part of practice. Yet it remains notably absent from secular mindfulness. Why is that so?</p> <p>In this episode, I speak with Renée Ford from Ruhr Universität Bochum about the many layers and meanings of devotion in contemplative traditions. We discuss some of the lesser known aspects of this practice and consider why it has been largely set aside in contemporary approaches.</p> <p>We also look at how devotional relationships can, in certain circumstances, invite abuse. Interestingly, ancient texts already address these difficulties, offering guidance on navigating such situations.</p> <p>A conversation about devotion in Buddhist practice, its complexities, and the questions it raises for us today.</p> <p><a href="https://recentglobe.uni-leipzig.de/forschung/forschungsprojekte/kcct">Khyentse Center for Contemplative Traditions</a></p> <p><a href="https://recentglobe.uni-leipzig.de/">ReCentGlobe</a></p>
