Episode 40 - Revised Terms and Conditions
We’ve often underpinned a lot of our previous discussions and insights with the idea of embracing others without condition, without distinction. But what does that mean? Today we’ll turn that stone over and try to better understand it as well as learn an exercise that will help us to rewire our hearts and brains to actually become better and engaging with others without condition or distinction.

Episode 39 - Zip the Lip and Unzip the Heart
Buddhist concepts, doctrine and traditional practices can seem daunting and nearly impossible to work into our busy and challenging lives. But what the Buddha taught — and what has been reinforced and highlighted in Shinnyo Buddhism — is simple: Use our daily lives as practice. One way to unlock blessings and joy — and to be able to share it — is to listen, not with our ears and minds, but with your hearts. Join me as we dig into this and uncover how to use our hearts to create a better world around us.

Episode 38 - Equanimity: The Flowering of Gratitude
Having suffered some health issues recently, I lost my center and focus — I became focused on my suffering and my inability to take action as I had previously. With help, I was able to get out of this negative self-focused, self-referential thought pattern and recognize that the suffering itself is the teacher and the lesson. Exploring this, I was able to get a deeper understanding of Equanimity — embracing and accepting everything and everyone just as they are. Without distinction. This was something to hold on to, something I can use to start going forward again, being altruistic in all actions, words and thoughts. And taking these steps, gratitude for life and all it brings welled up in my heart.

Episode 37 - The Heft & Weight of a Grudge
Facing an imminent meeting with someone to whom I had a grudge, I decided I was no longer willing to carry the weight and negativity of old grudges — the one against this person or any of my more than several grudgees. By looking at how a grudge is fixed in our hearts and minds, we’re able to find an antidote! On the way, we can discover what in Buddhism is called “suchness” and re-focus negative energy for the good of others with our altruistic actions. #buddhism, #happiness, #lifecoach, #lifecoaching, #joy, #buddhanature, #authenticself, #prosperity, #satisfaction, #grief, #loss, #impermanence, #harmony, #anger, #meditation, #buddhistpractice, #stress, #stressmanagement,#activelistening, #compassion, #listening, #adhd, #focus, #stillness, #spaciousness, #kindness, #peace, #grudges

Episode 36 - Pointing to Gratitude
We go through life conflating thankfulness and gratitude and I suspect gratitude is something much deeper, more significant. Using some of the Buddha’s teaching, as well as our own experience, we discover that gratitude emerges and flourishes when we surrender to the understanding that we are not self-arisen beings, but the product of the past and present as well as ancestors and all those who helped us become who we are here and now. While we can’t define gratitude, we can point to it and, when cultivated, use it to create more peace in our world.
