Episode 139: Filters Frames and Blind Spots
[This episode originally aired on Sept. 19, 2023] In Buddhist psychology, a lot of emphasis is placed on the process of perception because the way we perceive —and misperceive — has tremendous consequences • in grade school we are taught an oversimplified view of what it means to have a sense perception: there's an object out there, and there's the eyeball, and the brain, and boom, just like that, a perception • you might say, I saw an apple, but of course you ne...

Episode 138: When You Lose Your Mind, Come Back
[This episode originally aired on June 28, 2022] The phrase, “When you lose your mind, come back” describes a lot of what happens in meditation: repeatedly losing our minds, and repeatedly bringing ourselves back • the moment we’ve noticed we’ve lost it is the moment we can return • what are we returning to? the simplicity of the present moment • another phrase Trungpa Rinpoche used quite a lot was, “Don’t think too much” • what are ...

Episode 137: The Role of Discipline
[This episode originally aired on June 21, 2022] In the dharma a great deal of emphasis is placed on integrating meditation practice and study • interwoven throughout is the need for discipline, the need to apply our training to the real challenges of life • if you look at the role of discipline in terms of meditation practice and study, it’s very simple: you have to do it • it takes effort and commitment to stick with study, to stick with practice&n...

Episode 136: Balancing Act
[This episode originally aired on June 14, 2022] Since we are the only ones who know what’s really going on during any session of meditation, or in life generally, we have a responsibility to be our own meditation instructors, working with the patterns that capture our particular mind from time to time • many years ago I was introduced to pairs of qualities that can help us in identifying different kind of traps, or extremes, we can fall into, as ways to bring ourselve...

Episode 135: Peacefulness in the Midst
[This episode originally aired on June 7, 2022] I used to carry around a cartoon that depicted a beautifully robed monk with a Japanese shoji screen behind him, everything perfectly in its place—and behind the screen everything was complete chaos • it’s very tempting to create a façade of tranquility and peacefulness in our meditation practice and ignore what’s behind the screen: the roiling emotions and thoughts, the confusion and history and regrets • how do w...

Episode 134: The Play of Emotions
[This episode originally aired on May 31, 2022] Emotions are a natural part of who we are • they can be powerful—even overpowering—or they can be subtle, almost an undercurrent • they can be very inspiring, or they can be very disruptive • if you trace negative emotions back to their source, you discover that they arise from an ongoing battle where everything is taken personally • if you trace that battle back to its source, you find a sen...

Episode 133: Letting Go
[This episode originally aired on August 8, 2023] I recently had a problem with my computer—whatever I put in my "trash" would just stay there; I couldn’t empty it • I started thinking about how that could describe our personal “trash”—our freak-outs and obsessions, our worries and regrets, as well as what we read in the news • we can shove that stuff deep within us, and sometimes it’s not so easy to know how to let it go • one approach is not to take anyt...

Episode 132: Eight Everyday Preoccupations
[This episode originally aired on August 1, 2023] The eight everyday preoccupations are eight ways we occupy our minds in order to avoid experiencing things directly • they act as a kind of a central filtering mechanism, separating out the things that feed our ego from the things that challenge it • because of this filtering mechanism, we get jerked around into a very reactive way of living and thinking • all of our thoughts and actions curve inwardly to a ...
