European MTV host Eden Harel asks Rav Michael Laitman, PhD whether or not a Kabbalist can also live as a Buddhist, which led to an explanation of two approaches to the ego. In short, Rav Laitman describes the difference between the two approaches as that of diminishing the ego (in Buddhism) as opposed to increasing the ego (in Kabbalah). The aim of increasing one’s ego in Kabbalah is not to make more money, have more power, honor and knowledge etc., but to aim one’s desire for the greatest thing that we can ever achieve: spirituality.
