Listen "Episode 92: The Paramitas: Challenging the False Promise of Security"
Episode Synopsis
[This episode originally aired on October 25, 2022] The six paramitas challenge the mistaken view that we can make ourselves secure by grasping more and more tightly • to practice the paramita of generosity, we need to make a point of letting go, of giving away • the paramita of discipline challenges our attachment to sloppiness and comfort, to cruising through life in a superficial way • the paramita of patience works with our attachment to speed and aggression as a way to sustain or protect ourselves • the paramita of exertion addresses our attachment to laziness, inertia, and the avoidance of effort and hard work • the paramita of meditation deals with our attachment to our thoughts as solid and real, challenging their power and their influence • the prajna paramita is an assault on our deep-rooted tendencies of denial and ignorance • each paramita gives us ways to chip away at the deep-rooted habit of trying to secure ourselves through our grasping.
