Do You Even Train, Bro?

Episode Description from the Publisher

"Do You Even Train, Bro?" is a Dharma Talk and brief guided meditation on spiritual bypassing and the ways we can sometimes use Buddhist teachings to avoid the very things our practice is supposed to help us face. We cover how sometimes, acceptance can become resignation, equanimity can be mistaken for indifference, letting go can become avoidance, and even meditation can become a place to hide. The Dharma isn’t about pretending everything is fine. It’s about learning to see clearly what is actually happening and responding with wisdom and compassion. Sometimes that means sitting with what is. Sometimes it means letting go. And sometimes…it means getting the water. I hope you find this helpful in some way.
