Reclaim your power from the news, booze, shopping, or denial.
Ayya Anandabodhi is the spiritual director of Pārāyana Vihāra, a monastic residence in Port Townsend, WA. She was raised in Wales, in the UK, and first encountered Buddhism in her early teens and began training as a nun at age 24. You can listen to some of her Dharma talks, here.

- The difference between centering vs equanimity
- How to break out of old patterns
- The power of pausing
- How anger is justified, but it doesn't help
- A quick but deep dive into the Four Noble truths, a foundational Buddhist list
- We tackle the tricky topic of "true nature"
- We talk about the vital role of that treacly and often misunderstood term, compassion
