Letting Go of Suffering - a Guided Meditation

A clear-eyed meditation on suffering: both what suffering is, and the mental source of suffering in our delusions of attachment, anger, and self-centered ignorance. We practice the antidotes to these delusions, giving us tools for a more balanced, less self-centered view of our experience that offers sustained stability and happiness through life’s challenges and desires.16. Guided Meditation: Letting Go of SufferingTwo years ago, we created A Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment to share the rich tradition of Tibetan Buddhist analytical meditation in a form that requires no belief beyond what science currently accepts. The first 40 episodes of the podcast gradually go through all of these topics, in order, beginning with appreciating the gift of our life and our place in the universe, and gradually moving up to cultivating boundless compassion for all beings and understanding the ultimate nature of our inner and outer realities. Over the next year, interspersed with new interviews, we are re-releasing updated versions of these topics.This week, watch two special events in New York City to talk about How to Train a Happy Mind, with musician and artist Laurie Anderson, and  DJ Spooky. Our new online community also launches this week, Train a Happy Mind with live meditations for all the topics from the book. Go to skepticspath.org for more details on the book events and our new community. I look forward to seeing you there!Support the Show.
