2/3/21 - The Skill of Turning Towards Suffering

In this week's episode we explore the various ways the heart and mind can hide and flee from facing the stress and struggles of human existence. We talk about how adept the mind is at protecting itself using the habits of suppression, denial, and repression. Conversely, we discuss how Buddhist psycho-spiritual practices are designed to give us the tools and mindset for overcoming our deepest wounds and greatest fears.    Gregory Maloof is a western Dharma teacher from the Ruth Denison lineage.
