Podcast: Lama Surya Das on Dogs as Teachers

Rami asks Lama Surya Das, “Does a dog have Buddha nature?”

Host Rabbi Rami talks with Lama Surya Das about what we can learn from our dogs and a meditation you can do with your pet. His story titled "Dogitation" appears in the Sept/Oct issue of Spirituality & Health magazine.

Lama Surya Das, who the Dalai Lama affectionately calls the “American lama”, has spent over forty five years studying with the great spiritual masters of Asia. He is an authorized lama in the Tibetan Buddhist order, and the founder of the Dzogchen Center. Surya Das is the author of the international bestseller Awakening the Buddha Within: Tibetan Wisdom for the Western World and twelve other books, including his latest release, Make Me One with Everything: Buddhist Meditations to Awaken from the Illusion of Separation.
