Episode Details

In this Dharma Sunday teaching, the Third of Four teachings on "Mycelial Wisdom", Lama Willa Blythe Baker, founder of Natural Dharma Fellowship, and visiting teacher, Zoe Logan Morris, discuss The Myth of Transcendence.

Using the metaphor of a mycelial network—the "wood wide web"—the teaching suggests that spiritual awakening isn't a "vertical exit" from suffering but a process of grounded engagement with the world. True enlightenment, or Bodhi, is about recognizing our profound interconnectedness with all life. The path is not about changing who you are or escaping the present moment, but about coming home to your innate nature and embracing your place in the web of life.
