    Do You Even Train, Bro? (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    "Do You Even Train, Bro?" is a Dharma Talk and brief guided meditation on spiritual bypassing and the ways we can sometimes use Buddhist teachings to avoid the very things our practice is supposed to help us face. We cover how sometimes, acceptance can become resignation, equanimity can be mistaken for indifference, letting go can become avoidance, and even meditation can become a place to hide. The Dharma isn’t about pretending everything is fine. It’s about learning to see clearly what is actu

    Read excerpt

    "True Story" is a Dharma talk and brief guided meditation about learning to separate what actually happened from what the mind adds to it, how papañca (mental proliferation) can turn one unpleasant moment into an entire bad day, and how gratitude can help us see everything that is true about an experience without denying what hurts.

    Read excerpt

    “Never Be Lonely Again” is a Dharma talk offered at Two Hands Sangha exploring the difference between loneliness and being alone. You can be physically alone while carrying a whole room full of people around in your head. You can be surrounded by people and still feel completely lonely. And, in a deeper sense, the Buddha taught about a kind of “aloneness” that has nothing to do with how many people are around us at all. So what does it mean to be truly alone? When does solitude become isolation?

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    "Welcome Back, Stay Awhile" is a Dharma talk and brief guided meditation offered in the MindfulnessVR community on the Four Right Efforts. The Buddha taught that our practice isn't simply about finding our way back when we've wandered off the path. We can learn to recognize what pulls us away, let go of what isn't serving us, intentionally cultivate what is wholesome, and protect the good that is already growing. In this talk, we'll explore the Four Right Efforts as a practical way of tending th
