Approaching Buddhism: The Relative Nature of Mind
John Bruna, the spiritual director of the Way of Compassion Dharma Center, continues to offer guidance and commentary on the text “Approaching Buddhism” by venerable Thubten Chödron and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. John speaks about the Buddhist view that the mind is not the brain and how the focus of Buddhist practice is to come to understand the nature of the mind. Within the understanding of the two truths (relative and ultimate reality), John spends a majority of this session unpacking the relative nature of the mind.
