The Buzz Lightyear Model of Enlightenment: To Infinity and Beyond

Mike Latorra

Buddhist Geeks

Posted: Nov 15, 2008

In this episode we bring back the Geeks of the Round Table segment. Joining us is one of our regulars Duff McDuffee, and a new geek to the lineup, Mike LaTorra. Mike is the resident teacher of the Soto Zen Center in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

During this conversation we discuss an article written by Shambhala Acharaya Judy Lief entitled, Glimpses of Awakening. We discuss the ideals surrounding awakening, and use the classic three trainings model (of ethics, concentration, & wisdom) to explore what enlightenment is about.

This is part 1 of a two-part series. Listen to part 2 (airing next week).
