In this lively and exploratory conversation, Mike and Polly talk with Buddhist teacher and author Gaylon Ferguson, Ph.D. Dr. Ferguson has led group meditation retreats since 1976 in many settings, but especially in retreat centers. He is the author of Natural Wakefulness (on the four foundations of mindfulness) and Natural Bravery (on the path of fear and fearlessness). Do you imagine that something is missing in your life? Have you been searching for spiritual awakening or some kind of deep transformation? Mike, Polly and Gaylon speak frankly about what provokes a spiritual search and where it leads. Along the way, they draw on Gaylon’s new book Welcoming Beginner’s Mind: Zen and Tibetan Buddhist Wisdom on Experienc ing Our True Nature. The book follows the famous ten Zen Ox Herding pictures and invites the reader to relax and welcome whatever is arising, moment-by-moment.
