#033: Who Said it Best: Moses or Buddha?!
Most people have heard of the 10 Commandments from the Christian Bible. But did you know the Buddhists have a nearly identical teaching?
And how is ANY of this relevant or interesting for a secular, modern human dealing with the complexities of our world today? Surely if God is all-knowing and powerful, He could have created a better list than what He delivered to Moses on Mount Sinai?!
We also tackle a sticky question: is the external world the direct cause of your suffering, or is it merely an objective condition that triggers internal, defensive armor? How do we avoid sounding like we're blaming the victim and find genuine agency and power?
Links to resources mentioned in the podcast:
- Joseph Goldstein's series where he unpacks The Eightfold Path. You can listen to Episode 1 in that series here.
- The Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Murton.
- And the whole episode was inspired by a section in Dr. Joe Loizzo's book Sustainable Happiness about the similarities between the 10 Commandments and The Eightfold Path.
others find it, too. Thank you!
