About this episode
The Buddha said that being human means being shot with arrows of suffering. But too often, we keep stabbing ourselves with the same arrow. In this short talk, Joe from the Columbus sangha shares a candid reflection on how we relate to our pain, sometimes using it for attention, sometimes burying it, sometimes replaying it over and over. Through Buddhist practice, we can learn another way: compassion, presence, and release.
