Drama Trauma (Link #782)

from Mangala Shri Bhuti - The Link · host Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche and students

Speaker: Bill Roberts. Using the first and second noble truth as a starting point, Bill talks about the deep fear of failure and unrelenting anxiety that overshadowed his career as an actor. Offering his experience as a window into the workings of ego, Bill states that until we choose to boycott the demands of this indefatigable tyrant, even spiritual practice can become a place where we perform the drama of failure. Two helpful practices are bodhicitta and "putting the mind of fear in the cradle of loving kindness", which become an endless offering to the world: not to fix, save or even help, but to allow the heart's openness to express itself as love.
