ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Buddhist advice on the feeling of "I'm not enough," the voice that says "if I don't do it, no one will," and tolerating uncertainty without impatience.
Santacitta Bhikkhuni trained as a nun in England & Asia, primarily in the lineage of Ajahn Chah and has also received teachings in the Shechen lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. She is committed to Gaia as a living being and resides at Aloka Earth Room, currently in San Rafael, California. She recently co-authored the book What Are You Waiting For? A Conversation about Buddhism between Two Old Friends. You can find more of Ayya's teachings in audio & video format, as well as ongoing events in-person & online.
In this episode we talk about:
- Why self-improvement might be the wrong goal entirely
- The upside of having your heart broken
- Why patience isn't just for old ladies
- How to actually tolerate uncertainty
- The difference between reacting and responding
- What waiting in line can teach you
- The devotional practice missing from Western Buddhism
- What it means to become part of the Earth's immune system
