A Buddhist Recipe for Handling Turmoil | Kaira Jewel Lingo

Su questo episodio

<p>We all know that change is inevitable and impermanence is non-negotiable. But somehow it can feel surprising, maybe even wrong, when we personally hit turbulence. The Buddha had a lot to say about this, and so does our guest. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>Kaira Jewel Lingo has come back to the show to talk about her new book, <a href="https://www.kairajewel.com/books" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>We Were Made for These Times: Ten Lessons on Moving Through Change, Loss, and Disruption</em></a>. This episode explores a few of those strategies including: waking up to what's happening right now; trusting the unknown; a Buddhist list called the Five Remembrances; how gratitude helps us in times of disruption; and accepting what is (and why this is different from resignation or passivity). </p> <p><br /></p> <p>Kaira herself is no stranger to impermanence: she spent 15 years as a Buddhist nun, and then decided to leave, which caused no small amount of disruption. </p> <p><br /></p> <p><em>Please note: There are brief mentions of domestic violence, abuse, the suffering of refugees, and war in this episode</em>.</p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p>To help you find your way during times of upheaval, loss, and transition, Kaira Jewel has recorded a series of meditations in the Ten Percent Happier app. Check it out by downloading the <a href= "https://10percenthappier.app.link/install" rel= "noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ten Percent Happier</a> app wherever you get your apps, tapping on the Singles tab, and searching for the topic called "Made for These Hard Times."
