Taking a journey through the Buddha’s history, Joseph Goldstein reveals how we can relate the Bodhisattva’s experiences to our own lives. In this Episode, Joseph teaches on: The history of Siddhartha Guatama Archetypes and myths within the Buddha’s journey Connecting individual experiences into universal principals Joseph Campbell’s description of the Buddha’s life stages Calls to destiny and the illusion of having a self The profound truth of impermanence and change Anxiety and unease from trying to posses things Facing realities such as death and disease One of Joseph’s first major insights into his mind Renunciation and getting out of the seduction of appearances Meditation and recognizing vastness Examining what is a hindrance and what is skillful The great struggle and developing a courageous heart The Bodhisattva’s three watches of the night The great awakening and working for the good of others “In this archetypal level, the Buddha’s life reveals to us aspirations in our own. It helps us find a deeper meaning, a deeper purpose, a fuller context for our own life choices. On this archetypal level, it connects the Buddha’s journey with our own.” – Joseph Goldstein ================ Joseph Goldstein: Sudden Awakening & Gradual Cultivation of Buddhist Practice – Insight Hour Ep.193 - https://youtu.be/14Jj41edRJ4 Joseph Goldstein – Insight Hour – Ep. 193 - Sudden Awakening, Gradual Cultivation - https://beherenownetwork.com/joseph-goldstein-insight-hour-ep-193-sudden-awakening-gradual-cultivation ================ Make sure not to miss a single video podcast from Be Here Now Network!
