We live in a society where our own science encourages us to believe that things happen just randomly and that life is meaningless. If we are to ground our morality in an understanding of real causality, we must rebel against the official worldview of our culture and the idea that the ultimate good is just shopping, entertaining ourselves, and the obsession with trivia. A real spiritual practitioner has to get off of “Planet Absurdo” and retreat to “Planet Sanity” in order to rehabilitate and get in a position to truly help others.

This podcast is taken from a “Dharma Essentials” class taught in Los Angeles in December of 2007.
