We're exploring a truth so simple yet profound it almost feels like a secret; every problem we have comes from just one thing--our own mind.

In reality, they're more like clouds, shifting and changing with the winds of th…

In this episode, we practice one of the most powerful antidotes to anger and aversion: compassion.

It’s the most powerful way to interrupt the cycle of harm and start creating peace, in…

Episode 208 - Smells like dukkha 45:23

The Buddha taught that dukkha—suffering and dissatisfaction—doesn't come from the outside world. Our problems don't arise from difficult people or hardships. Our problems come from within our own mind, from the way we react to life. The same is true for happiness. We spend so much of our lives trying to control the world around us—fixing this, avoi…

Episode 207 - Giving as an Antidote to Attachment 40:49

3M ago40:49

40:49

Attachment has a sneaky way of making us hold on too tightly—to things, to people, to our own comfort zones. We cling, we grasp, we hesitate to let go, fearing we might lose something essential.

Episode 205 - Antidotes to Attachment 34:37

3M ago34:37

34:37

Attachment is like a rope that binds us—tying our happiness to people, possessions, and circumstances. In Buddhism, attachment isn’t just about clinging to things we love; it’s the grasping, craving, and fear of loss that keep us trapped in cycles of dissatisfaction. The tighter we hold on, the more suffering we create. But don’t worry—there are an…

The spiritual path begins with a mind conditioned by anger, attachment, and ignorance—and a stirring wish for change.

What if you could instantly reduce stress, anxiety, and worry—not by changing your circumstances, but by changing how you see them? So much of our discomfort comes from labeling things as "good" or "bad," clinging to what we want and resisting what we don't. But what if these labels aren't inherently true? In this episode of Buddhism for Everyone, …
