Listen "The Three Brains, a Dharma Talk by Sister Dang Nghiem"
Episode Synopsis
Dear Friends,
In this dharma talk Sister Dang Nghiem explores neurologist Paul MacLean’s idea that our brains actually consist of three brains layered by evolution atop one another – the reptilian brain, the mammalian brain, and the intellectual Neocortex. Through the practice of mindfulness, Sister Dang Nghiem shows us how we can train ourselves to react from the highest level of our brain’s evolution, and so cultivate our minds to bring us greater happiness and peace, and to be a calm presence in the world.
Please enjoy these offerings, and may they guide us toward the peace of a carefully cultivated mind.
