The Daily Dharma

What is kindfulness? We explore why mindfulness is not enough and why we need to mix in kindness to create kindfulness.

Being mindful of what influences us is an important part of our spiritual journey. All of us are influenced by what we see, hear and interact with. As a result, we can use influences as well as positive habits as a tool to help us move in the right direction.

In this episode, we talk about how every emotion has a physical counterpart, and how this knowledge can help us counteract and treat our anxiety with compassion.

Positivity is not a bad thing. But positivity no matter what can turn toxic.

In today's episode, we talk about how to forgive ourselves in order to achieve true growth.

Hoping everyone is having a safe and warm new year. In this episode, we talk about how our survival instinct can sometimes slow down our spiritual journey.

In this episode, we talk about a great story on how to deal with situations where there's nowhere to run and no solution in sight. 

In this episode, we talk about a passage in the Devadaha Sutta, which talks about how we create our reality through a mixture of both karma and our present actions. As a result, we are fully able to break the cycles that perpetually arise in our lives with this understanding in mind.
