Episode 130: Two Kinds of Bypassing
[This episode originally aired on July 18, 2023] Someone recently asked me, “Am I spiritually bypassing?” • I took that term to mean using one’s practice or spiritual path as an escape, or relief, from the responsibilities of regular life in this world • it is a relief in a way, to take a break from the relentless struggles of daily life • is it possible to practice meditation in a way that’s not bypassing all of that, while at the same time recognizing the...

Episode 128: Simple Compassion
[This episode originally aired on July 4, 2023] The word “compassion” can seem so overwhelming in the face of all the suffering in the world that it can stop us in our tracks • while we’re imagining all the great gestures of compassion that we might do, we can miss the small, ordinary, daily acts of compassion that really do affect our world • some of the hardest compassion to feel is just being present with suffering that isn't fixable • this is what peop...

Episode 127: Beginning and Ending with Kindness
[This episode originally aired on June 27, 2023] The attitude that’s encouraged whenever we embark on a spiritual journey is not to approach it simply as a means of self improvement, but to switch our normal way of operating so that we are thinking about others • traditionally this is talked about as beginning by raising bodhichitta and ending by dedicating the merit • when we sit down to practice meditation, or to begin any project, we start by connecting with tendern...

Episode 125: Loneliness
[This episode originally aired on June 13, 2023] The feeling of loneliness, which is familiar to many of us, can be a very vulnerable and slightly threatening feeling • Trungpa Rinpoche emphasized the value of relating to loneliness as well as the value of being in community • he said that without relating with your loneliness, you can’t really be in community in a way that’s healthy; it can just be people leaning on one another, and can therefore be knocked over very ...

Episode 124: Hub, Spokes, Rim
[This episode originally aired on June 6, 2023] There are many ways to look at the connection between spirituality and our everyday lives • in the Buddhist tradition, the basic components are very simple and straightforward: they are wisdom, compassion, and effective action • an image that illustrates how theses three components work together is that of a wheel — a wheel with a hub, spokes, and a rim • the hub at the center connects the wheel t...
