In this episode, Ela Crain brings fundamental questions around a popular topic to discuss with Ringu Tulku Rinpoche: spirituality.

Ringu Tulku Rinpoche explains his understanding of spirituality and whether Buddhism fits together with the popular understanding of spiritual practices. He also explains what the mind is from a Buddhist perspective and how we can train our minds and work on our actions. And through such training, how we can improve our lives and avoid harming our environment through destruction and war. 

Finally, Rinpoche zooms into what we can do as individuals in our day-to-day lives and gives us tips to transform self-criticism into self-awareness.
