Ram Dass hosts his long time Buddhist friends Jack Kornfield, Catherine Ingram, and Wes Nisker at his home in Maui for an intimate chat on their first meetings, the gathering of the Soul Pod. In the early 70s, these westerners took in the essence of Hinduism and Buddhism from the East, deepening their understanding of true nature, and brought it back to the West. The group also discusses spiritual bypassing, the meaning of suffering and Ultimate Reality.
