Summary

How many significant things do you think it is possible to accomplish in just three minutes?

Today, Dr. Richard Dixey joins us to offer a completely new and revolutionary perspective on meditation, reality's nature, the importance of understanding how our perceptions shape our reality, and more. Dr. Richard Dixey is a dedicated researcher, a lifelong student of Buddhism, the author of "Three Minutes a Day: A Fourteen-Week Course to Learn Meditation and Transform Your Life," the Dean at Dharma College, and is married to Wangmo Dixey, the eldest daughter of Tarthang Tulku, one of the last traditionally trained Lamas in the Nyingma tradition.

Throughout this episode, you'll hear Dr. Dixey's thoughts on the map our senses make of reality, the external world, and why understanding the world everyone else sees is just a version of the same map is crucial to enhance our human experience. Dr. Dixey also talks about the power of meditation, how it can help us become aware of our own mapping of reality, what inspired him to write "Three Minutes a Day," and what he thinks the world will look like in the following years.

Additionally, we learn about the aspirational prayer he used to share with his kids every night, the five areas they work with students at Dharma College, his unique perspective on limiting beliefs, and much more.
