Practicing with Difficulties and Challenges 2: The Eight Worldly Winds
63:20

After a review of the six ways of practicing with difficulties and challenges presented last week, we explore the important teaching of the “Eight Worldly Winds” that keep us caught in reactivity—pleasure and pain, gain and loss, fame and disrepute, and praise and blame. Working with this teaching gives us another very helpful lens for working with difficulties and also with our tendencies to grasp—onto pleasure, gain, fame, and praise. We suggest several ways of practicing with this teaching, as a further way to deepen and energize our practice.

When we slow down and look at our own mind things aren't always so pretty. We often find self-judgment, criticism, harshness. One way to understand this path is that we are learning to be a good friend to ourselves, and to others.
