Architecture, Life, and Liberation

This essay is a personal reflection on the ontology of my life as an architect from a Mahayana Buddhist perspective. As an extension, it is an investigation into the architecture of all human existence— The form and texture of our lives, our feelings, our aspirations, our relationships with ourselves and with the world — To explore the questions of where these exist and how these exist. As a disclaimer, I must clarify that this is put together from teachings one has gathered over the years from Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, Geshe Dorji Damdul, HH Dalai Lama, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and other Buddhist masters. I am grateful to them for their Wisdom, kindness and patience. Some of these ideas may be too astounding and difficult to digest, but nevertheless I have found them not only intellectually compelling but also practically useful in daily life. <a href="https://narayan-badri.medium.com/architecture-life-and-liberation-3f6bc87044fb">Learn More</a>
