Suffering tends to isolate us into a small tight heap forming around a particular topic. In this narrow field we lose access to gladness, self-acceptance, and forgiveness. Breathing through the agitating energies, feel them as just that – it’s not personal, we can rise above. Willing to touch what’s difficult with gladness, we can meet the failing world without getting upset.
Aplogies for the darkness, but hopefully the talk is engaging. Buddhist psychology is often termed a ethical psychology and this talk gives reasons why the Buddha was only interested in ethics and transcendence.
