Episode 144: Possibilities

mardi 8 septembre 2026 • Durée 06:38

[This episode originally aired on October 23, 2023] Many classical Buddhist texts on meditation say that the best place to meditate or to practice is a quiet place in the forest, free from distractions, pleasant and refreshing • but what if you're a busy mother? what if you're struggling to pay the bills by taking on three jobs? what if you're dealing with a chronic illness? what then? • if we spend all of our time resenting the circumstances we're in, we will be frozen and unable to do anything • at some point we simply have to surrender to the circumstances we are in • we might not have the time to go on retreat, or to practice, or even have a moment when we're not dealing with our life as it is • but we can always practice kindness to ourselves and others; that takes no time • we can also apply mindfulness and awareness to whatever we are dealing with • and we always have the possibility of opening our mind out beyond our particular personal suffering, to place our suffering in the context of the countless things other beings are going through • when we notice our mind freezing or imploding, we can find little openings, little breaks in the momentum • we can glimpse little gaps in the solidity of what we're experiencing, little rays of possibility • and from those little rays, we can reconnect ourselves over and over when we lose it in the harshness of the circumstances of our life.

Episode 143 Small Thoughts, Big Consequences

mardi 1 septembre 2026 • Durée 07:14

[This episode originally aired on October 16, 2023] In Buddhist psychology, even large scale events and large emotional upheavals can be traced back step-by-step to simple little things • just a thought, just an idea, just a memory, just a little emotional undertone can quickly expand and expand until it's out of control • you could view this as bad news in seeing how quickly things escalate beyond our control, or you could think of this as good news in that even difficult and intense situations can be traced back and we can unravel them, get to the source, and thereby undercut their power • mindfulness practice is a way to observe this process in some detail • we can begin to discern what we're actually reacting to when we have our various reactions • is it something that’s actually happening? Is it a thought, a pre-existing emotion? Are we reacting to what's actually going on, or are we reacting to this knotty mix of thoughts and emotions we carry around with us all the time? • it's worth exploring; instead of being caught in a world of pre-existing conditions, we could begin to engage directly with what is actually going on here and now.

Episode 142: Trading Places

mardi 18 août 2026 • Durée 08:26

[This episode originally aired on October 9, 2023] The Mahayana path, the path of the Bodhisattva warrior of wisdom and compassion, has a great deal to do with how we relate to ourselves and to one another • what kind of others do we include in our world? • what kind of underlying feelings do we honestly have about the people in our lives and the people we encounter? • everybody is worthy of our attention, but usually we engage in a lot of picking and choosing: who is worthy of our attention and who is not • the practice I want to briefly introduce is the practice of exchanging oneself for others, which is the basis of tonglen practice — the practice of taking and sending • this practice is very simple: it's putting yourself in the shoes of another • you can do this for all sorts of possible scenarios, but a very common one is looking at how we relate to people we consider to be our superiors; how we relate to people we consider to be our inferior to us; and how we relate to those we view more or less as equal • when we can see situations from different perspectives, we can cultivate the ability to treat others respectfully and with the same regard, whether they're more powerful than us, whether they're less powerful than us, whether they're intimate friends, or whether they're strangers.

Episode 141: An Outrageous Idea

mardi 11 août 2026 • Durée 07:21

[This episode originally aired on Oct. 2, 2023] The Mahayana, or open path, is the path of the Bodhisattva — the enlightened warrior of wisdom and compassion • at the core of the Mahayana path is an outrageous vow, called the Bodhisattva vow, where we vow to emulate the great Bodhisattvas of wisdom and compassionate action • the Bodhisattva vow, conventionally speaking, makes no sense at all • you vow to save all sentient beings as vast as they are throughout space and time • you might think, that's pretty darn presumptuous to make a vow like that; you might even call it absurd, impossible • nonetheless, you do it • it's crazy to think that you could save all sentient beings, or even hold that thought at all • but you keep going, and if you're fortunate, you might be able to save at least someone, or some being, from some level of suffering • the vow of the Bodhisattva is not dreamy or romantic; it is grounded in very gritty reality of life for sentient beings of all kinds who suffer greatly • but because you see this pattern so clearly, you also see the flip side • instead of saying, “Wherever there are sentient beings, there are conflicting emotions,” you could say, “And wherever there are sentient beings, there's wisdom, there's intelligence; there's love and kindness and compassion. There are efforts to help. There is a lessening of pain, sorrow, and suffering.” In approaching the Bodhisattva path, you recognize that both of these patterns are true.

Episode 140: In Praise of Inefficiency

mardi 4 août 2026 • Durée 07:32

[This episode originally aired on Sept. 26, 2023] This period of history has been marked by incredible leaps in efficiency: things that used to take a great deal of time and effort can get done more quickly and easily than ever • but there are whole areas of reality that can't be accessed by efficiency, no matter how quick or clever or speedy we are • in fact, the harder we try and the speedier we get, the further away we are • there's a value, at least once in a while, of taking a break from trying to be efficient, from trying to get somewhere faster • I’m not talking about rejecting the idea of efficiency, replacing it with some other approach; it's more about recognizing the limits of that attitude and that approach, and our tendency to apply it where it doesn't really fit • I have an old dog who I take on “walks,” although they're very, very slow, and he's very, very stubborn • if I think of these walks as walks, as exercise, or as trying to get somewhere, accomplish something, I just get more and more frustrated and impatient • but when I just drop that whole concept and just relate to the dog sniff by sniff, it's actually quite enjoyable.

Episode 139: Filters Frames and Blind Spots

mardi 28 juillet 2026 • Durée 08:05

[This episode originally aired on Sept. 19, 2023] In Buddhist psychology, a lot of emphasis is placed on the process of perception because the way we perceive —and misperceive — has tremendous consequences • in grade school we are taught an oversimplified view of what it means to have a sense perception: there's an object out there, and there's the eyeball, and the brain, and boom, just like that, a perception • you might say, I saw an apple, but of course you never just see an apple — you see everything around the apple as well • all of that came into your little eyeball, and you just decided to say, I saw an apple • you made a choice; that’s an example of a filter • in addition to filtering, we engage in framing: we place things within a particular frame — a frame of assumptions, a frame of agendas, biases, and prejudices, simple associations, or memories • and finally there are blind spots, which is when we just don't see things at all, and we don't realize we don't see them • as we look into patterns of perception and misperception, we can see how many of our troubles start out just on a simple level of how we first see things • by recognizing and seeing through such patterns, there's a chance that our perceptions might begin to be a bit more free and open.

Episode 138: When You Lose Your Mind, Come Back

mardi 21 juillet 2026 • Durée 07:34

[This episode originally aired on June 28, 2022] The phrase, “When you lose your mind, come back” describes a lot of what happens in meditation: repeatedly losing our minds, and repeatedly bringing ourselves back • the moment we’ve noticed we’ve lost it is the moment we can return • what are we returning to? the simplicity of the present moment • another phrase Trungpa Rinpoche used quite a lot was, “Don’t think too much” • what are the benefits and what are the limits of thinking and conceptual understanding? • in the Buddhist tradition scholarship is highly valued • however, to be a realized person, to live a dharmic lifestyle, you don’t need to be a scholar; you don’t need to be all that clever • “coming back” in this context could mean coming back from the tangle of conceptual notes and fascinations to something immediate and basic and close to the heart • Trungpa Rinpoche used the term “intellect and intuition” when referring to these two streams • they are not in opposition or at war; there’s a sense of sophistication in the interplay between these two.

Episode 137: The Role of Discipline

mardi 14 juillet 2026 • Durée 07:21

[This episode originally aired on June 21, 2022] In the dharma a great deal of emphasis is placed on integrating meditation practice and study • interwoven throughout is the need for discipline, the need to apply our training to the real challenges of life • if you look at the role of discipline in terms of meditation practice and study, it’s very simple: you have to do it • it takes effort and commitment to stick with study, to stick with practice • even when we are not studying or practicing, discipline is the thread that ties it all together • it’s a long-term vision, not a short-term bandage or a magic pill • discipline in the Buddhist understanding is not a heavy-handed thing—there isn’t a set of commandments or rules; there is no particular punishment and no particular reward • all we have is our actions, our ability to notice the results of our actions, and our ability to learn from them and make decisions based on what we observe.

Episode 136: Balancing Act

mardi 7 juillet 2026 • Durée 07:02

[This episode originally aired on June 14, 2022] Since we are the only ones who know what’s really going on during any session of meditation, or in life generally, we have a responsibility to be our own meditation instructors, working with the patterns that capture our particular mind from time to time • many years ago I was introduced to pairs of qualities that can help us in identifying different kind of traps, or extremes, we can fall into, as ways to bring ourselves back into balance • the first pair talks about the two poles of anxiety and tranquility • in this example, we are working to find a middle ground where we are not falling into anxiety, and we are not becoming overly tranquil to the point of being disengaged or blasé • the second pair is agility and heaviness • the third pair is inflexibility and pliancy • the fourth pair is too firm and too soft • the fifth pair is self-doubt/uncertainty and a rigid sense of proficiency • the final pair is insincerity and genuineness/uprightness.

Episode 135: Peacefulness in the Midst

mardi 30 juin 2026 • Durée 07:27

[This episode originally aired on June 7, 2022] I used to carry around a cartoon that depicted a beautifully robed monk with a Japanese shoji screen behind him, everything perfectly in its place—and behind the screen everything was complete chaos • it’s very tempting to create a façade of tranquility and peacefulness in our meditation practice and ignore what’s behind the screen: the roiling emotions and thoughts, the confusion and history and regrets • how do we unify our world so there’s not a front and a back, a side we present to ourselves and others, and a side where everything is hidden? • it’s tempting to think we can create some kind of pristine experience for ourselves, and just ditch the rest—the messiness, the embarrassment, the regrets—so we can hang out in a peaceful and serene place... but we still have this lingering, lurking collection behind the screen • but here’s the twist: to the extent that we begin to let go of clinging to our “front of the screen” experience of serenity or peace, to the extent that we loosen our attachment to a particular state of mind, we discover a deeper kind of peace and tranquility, one that comes from incorporating the whole thing • I call this “peacefulness in the midst.”
