Surviving the News: Buddhist Strategies for Staying Sane, Engaged, and Not Completely Furious | Pascal Auclair

À propos de cet épisode

<p>You don't get to choose what's thrown at you — only how you respond. Karma as a tool for agency, attention sovereignty as a political act, and what to do when you feel completely helpless.</p> <p dir="ltr">The news is a lot right now. And for most of us, the usual options — doom scroll until midnight, or unplug entirely — don't actually help. Meditation teacher Pascal Auclair joins Dan for a live community conversation on how to stay engaged with what's happening in the world without letting it wreck your nervous system, your relationships, or your sleep.</p> <p dir="ltr">In this conversation, Pascal Auclair and Dan Harris discuss:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Why reading the news can be reframed as an act of love — and why that changes everything</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">What Buddhism actually says about karma, and whether the bad guys get theirs</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">How to balance staying informed with protecting your mental health</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">The difference between passive equanimity and wise, engaged action</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">How much news is too much — and why the answer is different for everyone</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Why attention itself has become a battleground, and how mindfulness is your best defense</li> </ul> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.pascalauclair.org/?lang=en">Pascal Auclair</a> has been immersed in Buddhist practice and study since 1997.
