Freeing Ourselves from Suffering: Anger, Craving, Pride, and War #167
For this week's episode, we're sharing a recent meditation Scott Snibbe led for our new Train a Happy Mind community on letting go of suffering. Every Sunday morning, he leads a meditation on one of the topics from How to Train a Happy Mind. Sometimes he also expands into other topics or leads practices relating to current events. This topic's chapter is called Am I the Most Important Person in the Universe?
In this talk and its meditation, Scott touches on how our own delusions of anger and attachment connect to the bigger problems in the world, like war and the activists working to stop it. He also shares some thoughts on what he's learned about how to be an effective activist from the book America's Racial Karma; and how racism, sexism, and colonialism connect to what Buddhists understand as the core delusion of pride.
