Mindfulness – 04/15/12

Dr. Henry Grayson meets with Janet Ettele, author of How Generosity Works. How Generosity Works is a contemporary fable that illustrates the Buddhist teachings as taught by Master Shantideva in The Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life. Dr. Grayson and Ms. Ettele discuss some of the universal truths presented in Buddhism such as the spirituality of oneness and the interdependent nature of existence. Dr. Grayson demonstrates how these truths are supported by the new physics. A conversation that touches on Buddhist teachings and concepts including karma, equanimity and compassion reminds us of the transformation and strength that comes through compassionately applying these teachings and practices.
