Listen "They Come and They Go"
Episode Synopsis
One of the most accessible teachings on equanimity is the Eight Worldly Winds. These are experiences that are common to all humans: pleasure & pain, gain & loss, praise & blame, fame & disgrace. If we're not paying attention we can get caught in this whirlwind of chasing the pleasant and rebelling against the unpleasant. The Buddha's insight is that these experiences arise for each of us and the invitation is to neither grasp nor repel. How do we sit with ease with these eight winds as they come and they go?
