Three Strategies for Getting Over Yourself | Joseph Goldstein

<p dir="ltr">Every year, Joseph Goldstein does a three month silent meditation retreat by himself at his home in Massachusetts. In this conversation you're about to hear, Joseph had just emerged from one such retreat with a bunch of thoughts on what are called the three proliferating tendencies or three papañca to use the ancient Pali term. </p> <p dir="ltr">These are three ways in which we perpetuate an unhealthy sense of self. Joseph has explained that you can think about the process of going deeper in meditation as a process of lightening up or getting less self-centered. You're about to get a masterclass in doing just that. </p> <p dir="ltr">For the uninitiated, Joseph is one of the co-founders of the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts. His co-founders are two other meditation titans, Sharon Salzberg and Jack Kornfield. Joseph has been a teacher at IMS since it was founded in the seventies and he continues to be the resident guiding teacher there. </p> <p dir="ltr">In this episode we talk about:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The framework for understanding the three proliferating tendencies; the basic building blocks of our experience in the world</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Six things that make up what the Buddha called "the all" </p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">What non-self means and why it's essential to the Buddhist teaching of liberation</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The two levels of truth: conventional and ultimate</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Why language is so important in conditioning how we experience things </p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">How the three proliferating tendencies provide a very practical guide to understanding how we manufacture our own suffering</p> </li> </ul> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Join Dan's online community <a href= "http://www.danharris.com/">here</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Follow Dan on social: <a href= "https://bit.ly/3tGigG5">Instagram</a>, <a href= "https://bit.ly/3FOA84J">TikTok</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Subscribe to our <a href= "https://bit.ly/3FybRzD">YouTube Channel</a></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p>Get ready for another Meditation Party at Omega Institute!

How Lying To Yourself (A Little) Can Improve Your Relationships and Make the World Feel Less Insane | Shankar Vedantam

<p dir="ltr">Anyone with a passing familiarity with Buddhism will know that "delusion" is rarely, if ever, mentioned in a positive way. In fact, the Buddha included delusion (aka: confusion about the way things really are) on his list of "the three poisons." The whole point of meditation, per the Buddha, is to uproot delusion -- along with greed and hatred. Only then can you be enlightened.<br /> <br /> My guest today is here to valiantly make the case that delusion -- or self-deception -- has an upside. Many upsides, in fact. While he concedes that self-deception can, of course, be massively harmful, he argues that it also plays a vital role in our success and wellbeing, and that it holds together friendships, marriages, and nations. Understanding this, he says, can make you happier, more effective, and -- crucially -- more empathetic with people with whom you disagree.<br /> <br /> Shankar Vedantam is the host of the popular podcast and radio show <a href="http://www.hiddenbrain.org/">Hidden Brain</a>.

Your Negative, Ruminating Mind: Here's Your Way Out | Sister Dang Nghiem

<p dir="ltr">When it comes to your demons, your baggage, you have a choice: transform or transmit.</p> <p dir="ltr">Sister Dang Nghiem, MD, ("Sister D") was born in 1968 in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive, the daughter of a Vietnamese mother and an American soldier. She lost her mother at the age of twelve and immigrated to the United States at the age of seventeen with her brother. Living in various foster homes, she learned English and went on to earn a medical degree from the University of California – San Francisco. After suffering further tragedy and loss, she quit her practice as a doctor to travel to Plum Village monastery in France founded by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, where she was ordained a nun in 2000, and given the name Dang Nghiem, which means adornment with nondiscrimination.
