Staying Focused - The Buddha Dharma Series

This podcast is pragmatic, secular and makes complicated Buddhist principles easy to understand.

Yeshe is a Buddhist monk. He is from England and teaches meditation, Buddhist philosophy and mindfulness.

Yeshe spent several years in a monastery in the foothills of the Himalayas teaching young monks basic Buddhist philosophy and meditation. He now offers teachings freely to all in a manner that is unpretentious and clear. He does not demand students to blindly accept what he says, but instead invites them to examine their own minds and experiences to discover the validity of Gautama Buddha’s teachings. 

Yeshe quietly demonstrates Gautama Buddha’s teaching on compassion through the charitable trust ‘Sangye Menla’ that he founded in 2008 in Chandigarh, Northern India. The trust provides medical assistance and care to people from the Himalayan region in India.

Guilt, a powerful and complex emotion, can often weigh heavily on our hearts and minds when we've done something that goes against our values or has harmed others. It's a natural response to recognizing our own mistakes and the impact they have had. However, dwelling in guilt can be detrimental to our well-being and hinder our ability to move forward. In this podcast, we will explore the process of acknowledging, accepting, and ultimately forgiving ourselves for past transgressions, offering insights and strategies to help navigate the path towards self-forgiveness.

Navigating Guilt: A Journey of Self-Forgiveness

In today's fast-paced and constantly changing world, the ancient Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi offers a refreshing perspective on life, encouraging us to appreciate the beauty of imperfection and transience. Wabi Sabi is not just a design or aesthetic concept; it's a way of life that can inspire us to find contentment and peace in the midst of life's chaos and imperfections.

Wabi Sabi is a philosophy that embraces the beauty of imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness. It celebrates the natural state of things and finds beauty in the simple, unpretentious, and unrefined. This concept originated from the Buddhist teachings and has evolved over centuries to become a profound cultural and appealing ideal in Japan.

Wabi-Sabi: Finding Beauty in Imperfection

Ultimately, bouncing back is about finding the inner strength to persevere, adapt, and grow in the face of adversity. It's about recognizing that setbacks are a natural part of the human experience and that they can serve as opportunities for self-discovery and transformation. With the right mindset and support systems in place, individuals can bounce back from even the most daunting challenges, emerging stronger, wiser, and more resilient than before.

Navigating Grief: Understanding, Coping, and Healing

In Buddhism, there are five omnipresent mental factors. These factors are present in every moment of our mental experience and play a fundamental role in shaping our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Understanding these factors can help us cultivate mindfulness and develop a deeper awareness of our own minds.
