"Known
by various names—from evolutionary Buddhism to Integral Buddhism—the
Fourth Turning, like all the previous turnings, transcends yet includes
its predecessors, adding new material while retaining all the
essentials." — Ken Wilber
In this episode of Buddhist Geeks, Brian Newman
discusses his journey into deep jhāna meditation practice. He explores
his training in the rigorous Pa-auk tradition, the challenges and
breakthroughs he experienced, and the balance between traditional and
more modern approaches to jhāna, ultimately advocating for a playful,
less rigid approach to accessing these deep states of concentration.
