How To Enter Heaven Here & Now | Meister Eckhart

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” What does this mysterious statement of Christ mean? How can spiritual poverty lead us to the heaven, the equivalent of the Buddhist nirvāṇa? Here we delve into the three forms of spiritual poverty as described by Meister Eckhart, the great Christian mystic. We explore how letting go of pride, ideas, and our ego-identity can unlock the kingdom of heaven in the present moment. We’ll also see how Eckhart’s teachings align with insights from Buddhism, Taoism, and various other wisdom traditions. #christianity #philosophy #spirituality #wisdom #mysticism
