Rising from disappointment and confusion we return to focusing on kind actions for others as the fuel of positivity and the recovery of a positive heart. Season 2 will start with this and focus on our life’s purpose.

We’ve often underpinned a lot of our previous discussions and insights with the idea of embracing others without condition, without distinction. But what does that mean? Today we’ll turn that stone over and try to better understand it as well as learn an exercise that will help us to rewire our hearts and brains to actually become better and engaging with others without condition or distinction.

Buddhist concepts, doctrine and traditional practices can seem daunting and nearly impossible to work into our busy and challenging lives. But what the Buddha taught — and what has been reinforced and highlighted in Shinnyo Buddhism — is simple: Use our daily lives as practice. One way to unlock blessings and joy — and to be able to share it — is to listen, not with our ears and minds, but with your hearts. Join me as we dig into this and uncover how to use our hearts to create a better world around us.

Having suffered some health issues recently, I lost my center and focus — I became focused on my suffering and my inability to take action as I had previously. With help, I was able to get out of this negative self-focused, self-referential thought pattern and recognize that the suffering itself is the teacher and the lesson. Exploring this, I was able to get a deeper understanding of Equanimity — embracing and accepting everything and everyone just as they are. Without distinction. This was something to hold on to, something I can use to start going forward again, being altruistic in all actions, words and thoughts. And taking these steps, gratitude for life and all it brings welled up in my heart.

Facing an imminent meeting with someone to whom I had a grudge, I decided I was no longer willing to carry the weight and negativity of old grudges — the one against this person or any of my more than several grudgees. By looking at how a grudge is fixed in our hearts and minds, we’re able to find an antidote! On the way, we can discover what in Buddhism is called “suchness” and re-focus negative energy for the good of others with our altruistic actions.

We go through life conflating thankfulness and gratitude and I suspect gratitude is something much deeper, more significant. Using some of the Buddha’s teaching, as well as our own experience, we discover that gratitude emerges and flourishes when we surrender to the understanding that we are not self-arisen beings, but the product of the past and present as well as ancestors and all those who helped us become who we are here and now. While we can’t define gratitude, we can point to it and, when cultivated, use it to create more peace in our world.

Conflicts and disagreements and toxicity are pervasive in our world — from society at large to our neighborhoods and even inner circle of family and friends. This all leads to conflict — quarrels, fights and disagreements with some of those closest to us. To combat conflict in the world, we can start by resolving conflicts we have with people in our lives. And apologizing is a most powerful way to do it. Listen to explore this path to peace.

Recognizing when we ourselves are being jerks is an opportunity to look deeply into our psyches, our egos, and find the places in our mind where we cling, grasp and protect our fragile egos. Finding the roots of Buddhism’s “three poisons,” we uncover opportunities to convert those negativities into positive actions for abiding happiness and peace.

Building on what we discussed before, we tackle the question -- how can I change the world if I can't even change my life or the people around me? And how can I do so if I am overwhelmed by the turmoil and tragedy in today's world? Join us as we explore a path forward that transcends and helps us recover our spiritual agency a act as powerful creators of peace.

The tragedies of our world -- war, oppression, poverty and want -- can so easily overwhelm us that we turn inward. We tend to shut down our hearts so we don't drown in the suffering around us. It hurts too much to care sometimes. Using this feeling of being overwhelmed, we can find a path of strength that leads us to not shut down, but to open up more and become stronger, kinder, more compassionate and true forces of peace in the world.
