Buddhist Geeks #191: Living as a River (Bodhipaksa)

Very cool and very timely - I just got my copy of Living as a River, Bodhipaksa's new book - Living As a River: Finding Fearlessness in the Face of Change - so it's cool to hear this discussion.

Episode Description:

Bodhipaksa is a teacher from the Triratna Buddhist Community, formerly the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order. He joins us this week to explore the Buddhist teachings on impermanence and “change blindness.” We also explore one of the central practices that he teaches, called the 6-elements practice—one of the primary methods found in the earliest strata of Buddhist teachings. Finally, we explore the importance of enlightenment in his teaching, what is traditionally called stream-entry, but which he refers to as “entry-level enlightenment.”
