Roshi Bernie Glassman: Bearing Witness to the Oneness of Life 2011 (Part 2 of 6)

Episode Description: The depth of enlightenment. Roshi Bernie answers some of the questions, ideas, thoughts, and doubts from last night’s discussion. Dissecting Kōbōdaishi’s quote, “The way you can tell the depth of a person’s enlightenment is how they serve others,” he compares “realizing the oneness of Bernie,” to a new mother in service to her child, to the Dalai Lama and the depth of their enlightenment. For Bernie, an enlightenment experience is an experience of the interconnectedness of life.
