In Episode 2 of 'What Would Buddha Do?', host Lena DiGenti addresses a heartfelt question from a listener about handling verbal and emotional abuse from a loved one with a drinking problem. Drawing from Buddhist teachings, particularly the narrative of 'The Buddha Rejects Abuse,' Lena explores how to navigate abusive situations by refusing to accept hostility, akin to not partaking in an unwanted meal. Emphasizing the importance of separating abusive actions from the person, this episode sheds light on the Buddha's profound wisdom and its relevance in modern contexts, including personal relationships affected by addiction.
