The Dichotomy of Perception and Reality:
Psychedelic Experience & the Nature of Mind.
Thursday, May 5th – 5 pm PDT / 8 pm EDT
There will be a panel discussion on Saturday, May 7th – 5 pm PDT / 8 pm EDT
Many psychedelics users report life-changing experiences of selflessness and interdependence. Can “plant teachers” point out the true nature of reality? Or are these merely moments that appear profound under the influence of a drug? Rinpoche will discuss how these experiences may be effectively applied as direction and inspiration for the contemplative path.
