About this episode

Reclaim your power from the news, booze, shopping, or denial.

Ayya Anandabodhi is the spiritual director of Pārāyana Vihāra, a monastic residence in Port Townsend, WA. She was raised in Wales, in the UK, and first encountered Buddhism in her early teens and began training as a nun at age 24. You can listen to some of her Dharma talks, here

 

In this episode we talk about:

  • What centering means – and how to do it in the midst of chaos or calamity (Including some very practical tips)
  • The difference between centering vs equanimity 
  • How to break out of old patterns 
  • The power of pausing
  • How anger is justified, but it doesn’t help
  • A quick but deep dive into the Four Noble truths, a foundational Buddhist list
  • We tackle the tricky topic of “true nature”
  • We talk about the vital role of that treacly and often misunderstood term, compassion
