What does Buddhism say about fanatical teachings?
About this episode
Linda O'Neal (goodthoughtsnlp.com) and Nicole Lentfer (Natural Health Center of Austin) discuss Thích Nhất Hạnh's book, Being Present. Thích Nhất Hạnh is a Vietnamese Buddhist and the Father of Mindfulness. In his book, there is a chapter called the 14 Principles of Buddhism for Westerners. The first Buddhist principle he writes about is to stay away from fanatical teachings. Nicole is an acupuncturist and a holistic doctor in natural medicine. Linda is an NLP therapist and Mindfulness coach. And while they are very similar in many areas, they find that during their deep dive into this first principle about fanaticism, they are worlds apart in their opinion on vaccines. Linda firmly believes in vaccines and supported mandatory vaccines, and Nicole believes that vaccines, not just the COVID vaccine but all vaccines, should be a choice.
