In this episode, I speak with James Gentry about meditation-infused pills and their role in Tibetan Buddhist practice.
We discuss how these pills are made and distributed during rituals called drupchen, and what it means to unite mind and matter in this way. These practices were designed to be relevant for different kinds of people, from accomplished meditators to illiterate common folk, and we discuss the commentaries that describe their making and significance.
