A NOTE FROM DR. JO
For more than two decades, I’ve helped those who have experienced life’s greatest tragedies learn to be with and integrate their losses and stay connected to their beloved ones who have died.
For more than two decades, I’ve wept with countless families from every cultural, ethnic, and religious group around the world.
For more than two decades, I’ve studied the effects of these losses and trained others on how to be compassionate toward that which cannot be cured.
For more than two decades, I’ve learned from the greatest teachers of all: our beloved ones who have died. —Dr. Joanne Cacciatore

In this course on the ancient Tibetan practice of dream yoga, Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche guides you through a deep exploration of the dream state.
Rooted in the Tibetan Bön Buddhist tradition, dream yoga is an advanced spiritual practice in which you can rediscover your dreams as potent vehicles for enhancing awareness in both dreaming and waking states. These vehicles can help you to move toward transforming your consciousness and your life, leading toward attaining ultimate liberation.
The eventual goal of dream yoga is not solely to learn to dream lucidly, but also to recognize the illusory nature of both dreams and waking life and to realize the true nature of reality. Dream yoga is also a preparation for death: as Rinpoche teaches, your ability to be grounded, peaceful, and aware during the dying process will depend on the success of your previous dream yoga practice.
If you’re feeling trapped, or if you find that you keep repeating unhelpful behaviors, dream yoga may provide a helpful antidote, while helping you to see for yourself the illusion-like nature of reality.
Please note: meditations are not downloadable in this course. We apologize for any inconvenience!
H. E. Khangser Rinpoche: Rebirth, Meditation, and the Path to Joy (#188)
Posted
This episode of the Wisdom Podcast features H. E. Khangser Rinpoche. At the age of five, H. E. Khangser Rinpoche was recognized as the eighth reincarnation of Khangser Rinpoche. By 2005, he had earned both the Geshe Lharampa degree and a doctorate in tantra, both with the highest honors in the top division. Rinpoche is a great scholar who has achieved mastery in both the Gelug and Nyingma Buddhist traditions. In 2023, Rinpoche came in line to one day become the Gaden Tripa, the supreme head of the Gelug lineage, which is considered the largest school in Tibetan Buddhism.
In this episode, host Daniel Aitken and Rinpoche discuss:
- his book A Monk’s Guide to Finding Joy;
- the seventh Khangser Rinpoche and the search for the Dalai Lama;
- becoming a recognized Tulku and the importance of past life memories;
- the importance of debate and reasoning in Buddhist philosophy; and
- much more!
Be sure to keep up with Rinpoche’s work and events:
