“God Without the Sacred: The Book of Job, The First Critique of Ideology” – a lecture by Slavoj Zizek at New York Public Library on November 9, 2010.

From the "Buddhism" collection. Recorded at the Philosophical Research Society, Los Angeles.

Originally aired as Salon #472 of the Psychedelic Salon podcast. "An interesting thing about drugs is often, when a new drug is discovered, it takes a long time to figure out how do you do it." "In 1948, television was introduced, and millions and millions of people lead larval, low-awareness, warehoused lives."

The date is November 2, 1997 and the sangha is holding a mindfulness retreat in Key West, Florida with the theme of Buddhist psychology. This is the first talk (100-minutes) where Thay introduces the attendees to the basic practices of mindfulness. It’s a wonderful teaching covering breathing, sitting, walking, and silence.
