11 - A Creative Life as a Buddhist: Why Courage is Key and How Chanting Activates It
About this episode
@BuddhismTalks In this episode I talk to Shuyi about how sharing a secret love of acting with a colleague led her to move from a career in tech to an acting degree at Harvard and other adventures in the pursuit of a creative life.
We discuss topics such as:
*Making decisions from courage and wisdom rather than a place of fear and suppression
*Being aware of the stories we tell ourselves in setting personal standards for our life
*The importance of making constant causes, big and small in the pursuit of our dreams
