About this episode
There’s a slow and quiet changing of a mind, even when we think nothing is happening. We can just begin or continue our steady effort to get close to all of it—the joy and the mess—as it is. It’s a simple instruction, but maybe the most difficult to put into practice.
So what can you do when the mind gets in the way of getting close and your thoughts become obstacles? SWITCH. In this talk Zuisei discusses SWITCH, a helpful way to understand and to remember the Buddha’s teachings on how to work with the mind skillfully and directly at these times.
This talk draws on the poetry of Ada Limón, the Vitakkasanthana Sutta, and more.
