Hungry Ghosts, Greedy Demons & Monstrous Mindstates: A Halloween Dharma Talk with Dr. Cheryl

October 31 is a bit of a funny day. Of course, for many of us in Canada and the States, we have our long held Halloween traditions from childhood. But if we think of those traditions, there are several of them—including the act of assuming another persona—that correspond to aspects of Buddha Dharma. In today’s episode of Sex, Love, and Elephants, you’ve got a front row seat to my recent Dharma Talk, given this past Halloween. Tune in and learn about the ghosts, ghouls, and goblins that reside inside of our own psyche when we get trapped in anger, selfishness, or judgment. In This Episode, You Will Learn: According to Buddha Dharma, there is no real, permanent self (04:13) About 30% of humans across the spectrum suffer from abandonment issues (11:36) When we're in greed, we forget to be generous (16:11) Halloween is the only holiday where the purpose is to give freely, without discrimination, to strangers (23:08) Everything changes, everything dies (29:53) This week’s LoveByte (47:09) Got questions?
