What we can learn from Indian religious traditions. May 10, 1987
About this episode
Zen Roshi, Lola McDowell Lee, gives a detailed discussion of the philosophical and historical backgrounds of religious traditions as they developed in India—Vedas, Brahmanism and Hinduism.
Lola explains the meaning of many of the Hindu terms and explores the Isha Upanishad.
Shakti, the Great Mother or feminine energy of the universe. We all have in us a power. That is shake.
Hindu Tantra versus Buddhist Tantra.
Prakriti and Purusha.
Maya.
As mentioned in the Bible, your actions in this world show your faith.
A medicine is true if it cures. Your experience, not words, is what matters. Consciousness does not evolve without effort.
Everything in your body is used material, recycled from the past.
Surya (the sun god) and Agni (the fire god). Surya is knowledge. Agni is action. The combination leads to the truth, to the Supreme Vision and Divine Bliss.
We all have the same name: “I.”
