Buddhism in the 21st Century with David Nichtern
About this episode
Joining us this week is my meditation teacher David Nichtern. David is a senior meditation teacher of forty years! Having studied under the legendary Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, David has gone on to author two wonderful books, mentor thousands of students, and still have time to win an Emmy and be nominated for a Grammy. He's been a guest on some of the top podcasts in the spiritual scene such as Duncan Trussel's Family Hour, and Pete Holmes 'You Made it Weird' as well as being featured in Netflix's The Midnight Gospel. In this episode we dive into some core Buddhist principles as well as investigate the importance of tradition and lineage while still embracing your unique individual expression. Keep in touch with David's work by checking out his website, Davidnichtern.com as well as catching up with his work on the aforementioned podcasts above. He has tons of free and wonderful YouTube content to help you get started on your journey of meditation and I highly encourage listening to both this episode and his extended wisdom talks. Starting April 7th 2021 is his next round of mindfulness meditation teacher training courses so if you wish to get signed up for that, head on over to https://tibethouse.us/event/level-1-100-hour-mindfulness-meditation-teacher-training-with-david-nichtern/ Be well everyone and we'll talk to you next week!
