A Glass of Water or a Well (Link #776)

What this episode covers

Speaker: Dungse Jampal Norbu. Generally speaking, we tend to separate our spiritual practice from the rest of our life, especially when the demands of a busy life set in. Dungse-la encourages us to bring Dharma into our life holistically. He also discusses the disparate impact that negative thinking has on our minds compared to positive thinking. Oftentimes what becomes a habitual tendency begins without much thought, such as scrolling on our phones. Unraveling from this requires time, clarity and intention to improve our life, specifically our internal life. As we become free from neurotic emotions and ego-grasping, our life becomes free, and our ongoing circumstances improve because we are now moving in a positive direction. The trick is to keep moving. As practitioners, we are not seeking temporary experiences; we are seeking complete and total freedom.
