In this episode of FO° Talks, Fair Observer Contributing Editor Anton Schauble and clinical psychologist and meditation teacher Tucker Peck discuss his approach to Buddhism and his book, Sanity and Sainthood. Though difficult for newcomers to read due to its length and lack of editing, Peck insists it holds invaluable insights when properly interpreted. However, later Buddhist traditions sometimes ascribe divine qualities to realization, speaking of a “great mind” or “bodhicitta” imbued with wisdom that acts through the practitioner. Meditation helps reveal these hidden influences — what Peck calls “internal dark money” — so they no longer unconsciously control one’s actions. Meditation: Right Effort, Mindfulness and Concentration aim to cultivate awareness and insight, especially through the Vipassana meditation technique, which deconstructs perception and experience.
