I know the world feels crazy and it feels like there's nothing we could do. But a lot of the way we imprison ourselves is through our outlook, our way of thinking. lt's really important for you to identify this...But we imprison ourselves.

Peace, happiness, well-being in the world will be gained once you learn to control your own mind. And in order to do that, you need to cut away all the conditions that carry your mind away like a leaf in the wind.

"It's not a bad thing to have anger rise. It's not a bad thing to have heartbreak rise. It's not a bad thing to have joy or pleasure rise. The issue here is what we do with that energy. This is not meant to be judgment. Its meant to be encouragement to practice deeply."

Hungry Ghosts and Intergalactic Bodhisattvas

Apocalypticdreams of Mara raining firedown upon us all. Choking on tear gasWe all screamed out for justiceWe marched in the streets We prayed to Fudoto use his sword and rope asa force for justice. Petty tyrant hatecult zombies burned everythingto the bloody ground. Hungry ghosts with theirinsatiable appetitescould not be appeased.

The delightful Bhante Rahula, visiting from Paññabhumi monastery in Guadalajara, speaks about how conscious gratitude and recollection of one's virtue can serve as a cure for the various ailments of the mind.

Make sure to watch until the end where Bhante talks about the important role the heyoka, or sacred clown, plays in our lives.
