Ep. 190 - Questions and Answers on Buddhist Practice

Going through questions submitted by meditators on retreat, Jill Shepard asks Joseph about discernment and other Buddhist practices.

This episode was recorded as part of a three-month retreat at the Insight Meditation Society and originally published by Dharmaseed

In this episode, Joseph answers questions on:

  • What it means to waste your suffering
  • Turning attention inward and looking at the cause of suffering
  • Attachment, resistance, and false perception
  • Self and anatta (not-self)
  • The wholesome and unwholesome roots of all skillful actions
  • Looking honestly at our intentions and motivations
  • Honoring the presence of our emotions versus being caught by them
  • The message we can receive from anger
  • Discernment and bringing mindfulness into love
  • Liberation through non-clinging
  • Working with doubt and the inner voice that fools and seduces us
  • Surrendering to the Dharma
  • How practice prepares us for growing old

“It’s really important to be honest about the range of our own motivations because if we’re not honest about it, we’re not going to see it. If we don’t see it, we may very well be acting on the unwholesome motivations.” – Joseph Goldstein
