Cultivating Calm: The Bodhisattva's Journey to Equanimity


Listen Later

In this episode, you'll journey through the trials and tribulations faced by the Bodhisattva, who was born into wealth yet felt increasingly disconnected from the material world. As he sought to embody the perfection of equanimity, he chose to leave behind his riches and venture into a life of simplicity and self-discovery. Through his interactions with disrespectful children and wise villagers, we witness how he navigated the spectrum of human behavior, responding with a remarkable neutrality that teaches us how to approach both admiration and disdain with a tranquil heart.

Join Margaret as she unpacks this enlightening tale, encouraging listeners to reflect on their own lives and the ways in which they can cultivate a sense of balance amid the inevitable chaos around them. Together, let’s aspire to develop the same unshakeable equanimity that the Bodhisattva demonstrated, fostering a deeper understanding of our emotions and reactions.
