RUPERT SPIRA
About this episode

The dialogues in this episode are taken from Rupert Spira's April 2019 weekend in Amsterdam, The Nature of 'I'.

In this episode, a man asks Rupert to speak about the body as an instrument of perception; a woman asks for guidance about her fear of death; and a man asks for help with understanding that experience is made of awareness.

The perennial, non-dual understanding that lies at the heart of all the great religious and spiritual traditions – Advaita Vedanta, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Sufism, Taoism and Zen, among others – allows us to investigate the essential nature of our experience. In the simple knowing of our own being, we discover the source of the peace and happiness for which all people long above all else.
