Summary

In this week's episode of The Relationship School Podcast, we speak with my former spiritual teacher Dr. Reginald "Reggie" Ray. I was also his TA in an undergraduate course on Tibetan Buddhism. This guy completely changed my life.

Reggie is the @DharmaOceanFoundation's co-founder and spiritual director, a university professor (retired) at Naropa University, and a highly respected meditation/dharma teacher.

Our conversation covers a lot of ground, including how being spiritually minded is not necessarily synonymous with being relationally developed or particularly skillful, and the importance of treating every human with respect, despite any issue or conflict.

Listen to the full episode to hear more about Reggie and his powerful journey.
