What Is Consciousness? And Where It Comes From — A Buddhist Perspective

What Is Consciousness? And Where It Comes From — A Buddhist Perspective This podcast offers a clear, simple look at consciousness through the lens of Buddhist teaching. It explores how the mind isn’t something solid, but a flow shaped by habits, karma, and changing conditions. You’ll hear about key ideas like impermanence and non-self, how they compare with science and other beliefs, and why even big questions — like whether plants or the universe are conscious — can lead us back to the present moment. 00:00 - Intro & Consciousness: A River, Not a Rock 05:29 - Karma: Seeds Shaping Our Experience 12:20 - Consciousness: Buddhist & World Views 20:51 - What Has Consciousness?
