Greatest Hits Vol. 30 - The Two Wings of Freedom
Episode 273
In this episode we talk about the two wings of freedom: wisdom and compassion. I’ll explain the importance of cultivating a balance of both, and what can happen when we are practicing one without the other (HINT: often, more harm than good). We will also go over some tips to help us cultivate both wisdom and compassion in our daily lives.
You will learn:
// The importance of having both wisdom AND compassion in our lives
// What happens when we lack deep wisdom or cultivated compassion
// How we can cause more harm than good when these qualities are out of balance
// How wisdom helps us see the true reality of things
// The 3 characteristics of all phenomena
// Ways we can work to cultivate a balance of both wisdom and compassion
Resources:
// To cultivate compassion, try this guided Tonglen Meditation audio (30min)
// Episode 28: Practical Emptiness
// Episode 51: Self-compassion
// Episode 106: Empathy vs Compassion
