Once you start to realize what your so-called negative urges really are, it becomes less attractive to respond to them.
What if the secret to a more mindful and ethical life could be found in Zen teachings? Brad Warner, an ordained Zen teacher and author, brings his unique perspective to this episode of 'The One You Feed'. Host Eric Zimmer sits down with Warner to explore practical advice from his book *Don't Be a Jerk and Other Practical Advice from Dogen, Japan's Greatest Zen Master*. Warner isn't your typical Zen teacher.
With a background that includes being a punk rock bassist and a film director, his approach to Zen is anything but conventional. He shares how we can all become better versions of ourselves by recognizing and understanding our 'negative' urges, making them less appealing over time. One of the highlights of the episode is Warner's emphasis on living in the present moment. He argues that mindfulness isn't just a practice but a way of life.
By focusing on the 'now', we can navigate through life's challenges more effectively. Warner also delves into the roles of faith and doubt in Zen practice, offering a balanced view that resonates with both beginners and seasoned practitioners. Warner's insights extend to the illusion of self and how contemplating deeper questions can lead to greater self-awareness. His practical thoughts on mindfulness make this episode a treasure trove for anyone looking to incorporate Zen principles into their daily lives.
Whether you're new to Zen or looking to deepen your practice, this conversation offers valuable lessons on ethics, mindfulness, and self-awareness. Tune in to discover how you can start living a more mindful and ethical life today.
