In this episode, we have the honor of hosting Geshe Lhakdor, a Tibetan monk, and renowned teacher of Buddhism. From discussing his daily routine as a monk to exploring the differences between meditation and mindfulness, and even the challenges that modern-day monks face, we delve deep into the world of Tibetan Buddhism. We also explore the significance of love, compassion, and kindness in life, and whether one should be a vegetarian or non-vegetarian in relation to Buddhism. Geshe Lhakdor sheds light on the importance of meditation and how it can help reduce our unhealthy emotions, while also sharing insights on how to maintain mental equilibrium. We also explore some of the core tenets of Buddhism, including Karma, rebirth, and the pursuit of Moksha. Geshe Lhakdor concludes the podcast with a message for the audience on leading a content life and the significance of having a guru.
