B. Alan Wallace is a highly respected meditation teacher in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and is a leading voice in discussions on the relationship between science and Buddhist philosophy. In 1971, he moved to India to study Tibetan Buddhism, medicine and language. In India he was ordained by the Dalai Lama and spent fourteen years as a monk where he studied with and translated for several highly respected lamas. In 1984 he studied physics at Amherst College and went on to gain a PhD from Stanford on the interface between Buddhism and Western science. Since 1987 he has been a frequent translator and contributor to meetings between the Dalai Lama and prominent scientists, and he has written and translated more than 40 books. He is the founder and director of the Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies and of the Center for Contemplative Research in Crestone, Colorado. Today we speak about the contemplative approach to studying the mind as well as the Dzogchen teachings on the nature of consciousness of Tibetean Buddhism that have been very important for both of us.

We live in a world filled with suffering, where attempts to help have been split into largely separate scientific and spiritual communities. As a spiritually engaged neuroscientist I hope to communicate how these seemingly separate world views can be reconciled. I produce weekly videos on topics at the intersection of neuroscience and wellbeing, including consciousness, meditation and psychedelic science.

I am Tibetan, I have interest about lucid dream for long time, listen to many talk like this on it, my experience so far is I had few experiences of lucid dream, I consider myself lucky to have experience it. Generally it happens to me when I don’t want to sleep but due to body tiredness, it force me to sleep and after few seconds I got up in my lucid dream, when things are terrible in a lucid dream, I always rush to exit from it even though I recognise it is a dream. I wish to experience it again. In total I had about 5 or 4 instances.
I recently stumbled upon dzongchen and I'm amazed how much it emphasizes compassion.
As a clinical hypnotherapist, I love how there are hypnotic techniques in dzongchen meditations. 💗 Dr. Liz
refined concentration is the opposite of being susceptible to having conditioning sneak by ur attention and taking possession of u
Fascinating!! I just had some flying dreams recently, cheers great work.
Check out the work of the notorious translator Malcolm Smith. His translation of Dzogchen tantras are superb.
Those translation are for a very few people, it's very very complicated theoretical technicalityes od Dzogchen.
regarding pristine awareness, I read in Fathoming the Mind that it's free from the 8 extremes of conceptual elaboration, I wonder if you could unpack those?
