This week’s episode is all about one of the foundational teachings of Buddhism: ehipassiko. We’ll jam on what it means to “live the question” and why it’s important for us to see things for ourselves instead of relying on others’ experiences. Plus, we’ll talk about how to not judge others for how they choose to live their lives.

In this Episode we talk about:

// WTF it means to “live the question” 

// Why “seeing for ourselves” is key to prevent, and protecting against, oppression (and gaslighting) 

// How to balance investigative inquiry and healthy doubt with faith 

// When doubt isn’t useful and unproductive – and essential 

// How we can use “seeing for ourselves” to not judge others
