In this lively conversation, Surya Das recounts his own personal story on the spiritual path, from seeking to realizing, with all the trials and tribulations inherent in that journey without goal.
Surya is one of the most highly trained American Buddhist teachers, and has worked in a dedicated fashion to make Buddhist teachings—especially Dzogchen, the highest of the Buddha’s teachings—available to Westerners in a more accessible fashion. His book Awakening the Buddha Within sold an astonishing 200,000 copies in this country alone.
In Part II of the conversation, airing June 23, Surya Das focuses on some of the more theoretical issues of spirituality in our times. But this conversation is his own story, in his own words, a story that seems more like an interior adventure novel or incredible motion picture (not surprising, in that his story has already been featured on an episode of the hit TV series, Dharma and Greg; listen in and find out how that one happened...). Surya's story is riveting; we think you will truly be moved and inspired by it.
