This blog will be moving. I have been informed by Blogger that they will be discontinuing FTP to externally hosted domains. All blogs will have to be hosted entirely on their servers. I have not decided if I will migrate this blog, as is, or try to merge it into the Celestial Reflections group blog. I have to evaluate my options. Either way, any bookmarks or feed settings used by readers of this blog will need to change. I will provide updates as needed.

Buddhism Meets Psychology, Confusion Ensues

Lotus Flower in the Morning Light, Sukhothai, Thailand

A hat tip to Shonin Justin on Ordinary Extraordinary for his point to this interview on ABC. Shonin Justin writes:

"Meet a doctor who thinks you can better understand the self by destroying it"

After the confusion about 'annihilating the self' is cleared up this is a very interesting story.

I'm not a Buddhist, but I am experiencing ego death, so I can fully relate to the healing potential of what Dr. Mark Epstein tries valiantly to get across to the interviewer. But mostly, I've been finding myself staring at lotuses more than usual, and I needed an excuse to post a pretty one.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to embed the video, so follow the link.
