MEDITATION PODCAST EPISODES
Episode 18: Guided Meditation — Renunciation
Meditating on renunciation gains a clear sense of our deluded state of mind right now, with many moments of frustration and anger and impatience and craving; turning away from these to the true source of refuge we find within our own mind.
Episode 17: The Red Pill of Renunciation – Embracing Reality as It Is
What do The Matrix and Jerry Seinfeld have to do with renouncing suffering?
Episode 16: Guided Meditation – Letting Go of Suffering
A meditation on what suffering is and how to apply mental antidotes that oppose the true source of suffering: our attachment, anger, and self-centered ignorance.
Episode 15: Am I More Important Than Everyone Else in the Universe?
Am I just a little bit more important than everyone else? My happiness, my goals, my relationships? This view, from the Buddhist perspective, is the root cause of our suffering, a delusion called ignorance. It seeks to explain both the suffering we feel when things don’t go our way, as well as the dissatisfaction we still feel even when we get exactly what we want.
Episode 14: What Do You Do When You’re Alone?
What do you do when you’re alone? When you’re anxious, lonely, or afraid, when you feel strong craving? The Buddhist view on this subject reveals a deep source of strength and support within our own minds that’s available any time we need it.
Episode 13: Guided Meditation – Alone Together
Millions are now faced with enforced solitude, while others, in the crush of families together all day, realize how much we needed that time alone we took for granted. The essence of meditation is finding a place of satisfaction in our minds that’s equally at ease alone or with others.
