Echoes of Alchemy with Lotus Sound
From Attachment to Awareness: Overcoming Spiritual Materialism
In this episode of Echoes of Alchemy with Lotus Sound, Jay shares the profound chapter "Spiritual Materialism" from Chögyam Trungpa's seminal work, "Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism."
As we unpack the concepts laid out in the text, we can explore the idea that spiritual practices can sometimes become material possessions in their own right, used by individuals to bolster ego rather than to attain true enlightenment. Alongside the reading, Jay briefly shares a little about Trungpa's own dramatic life story, highlighting his escape from Tibet and how his experiences shaped his teachings on spirituality and materialism.
Join us as we look at how these teachings can be applied to our everyday lives, helping us to connect more deeply with our true selves and the world around us.
