eB 147 - My Little Demon
Ego's arrogance ignores anything that doesn't serve "ME". "ME" is, in fact, the sole concern of arrogance, so it will hijack even our spiritual development. Bursting like a sausage stuffed with self-satisfaction, we'll congratulate ourselves for our great achievements of humility and altruism. Arrogance is as clueless as it is shameless in its performance, especially when it's dressed in a spiritual costume, and that's what makes it perhaps the most dangerous of emotional afflictions. Jampal Norbu examines the more subtle forms of arrogance with Lojong verse 37. Do not bring a god down to the level of a demon.

eB 146 - In Your Own Way
The experience of getting in your own way is what we are referring to in Dharma teachings when we say neurosis. Dharma practice is intended to reduce that neurosis. But take care, because we can convince ourselves that we are shining a light on our inner world, when we are really dragging subtle neurosis along in our shadow. Jampal Norbu examines how Dharma practice exposes the subtle neurosis of ego by considering Lojong verse 36: Do not twist the practice.

eB 145 - Friendly Competition
Survival of the fittest, is a well worn cliche deeply seeped into the fibers of our contemporary culture. Our every relationship can be influenced by a sense of competition and comparison if we don't learn to observe ourselves honestly. Jampal Norbu examines the ways Lojong acts as both a reference and a remedy along the bodhisattva path to becoming a genuine friend to ourselves, to the world, and even to opposing sports teams.

eB 144 - The Buck Stops Here
We're quick to point a finger at another when anything's wrong. Sometimes the accusation might even be reasonable, but the point is, we have a tendency to blame others. Passing the buck, though, has a gradual weakening effect on our own mind. In the service of integrity and resilience we must reach the point of exclaiming,"The buck stops here." Jampal Norbu considers lawsuits, livestock, scapegoats and onion rings in the examination of Lojong verse 34, Do not transfer the dzo's load onto the ox.

eB 143 - A Question of Integrity
On the surface, many Lojong verses seem like do-this-don't-do-that dictates restricting and prohibiting our freedom. These verses are actually friendly cautions alerting us to subtle attitudes that act against our well being. The integrity of our spiritual path depends upon a willingness to leave counterproductive habits behind in the name of true freedom. Jampal Norbu examines integrity in the context of aspiration bodhicitta through verse 33: Do Not Pounce Upon Vulnerability.

eB 142 - The Best Revenge
We are full of stories. Our whole relative experience can be seen as such, just stories. Stories are helpful in comprehending experience, but stories also confuse our very perceptions. When our sense of self importance writes the narrative, we typically arrive at stories that are corrosive to positive agency, confidence and contentment. Through Lojong we're encouraged to be aware of who from within is telling the story. Jampal Norbu examines Lojong verse 32: Do Not Wait In Ambush.

EB 141 - What A Life
There are 59 verses in the root text of Lojong that function as pithy mind training slogans. Each verse is dialed into a specific way that we struggle with our self importance. Through the years on this podcast, we've contemplated the verses one-by-one because each verse is worth considering. Sometimes we take a step back to view the bigger picture of how the spiritual path and the practice of Lojong expands relationships. During a trip to New Zealand, Jampal Norbu reflected on that deep appreciation.

eB 140 - The Great Debate
Humans have used debate for millennia because it effectively exposes assumption, bias and misunderstanding. Most debates these days, though, are undertaken not for the sake of clarity and understanding, but for the sake of argument. In the spirit of argument, the main objective is to win, not to learn or clarify. Argument is ego's conquest in its relentless campaign of self validation. In the spirit of debating argument, Jampal Norbu explores Lojong verse 31-Do Not Be Contentious.
