For Buddhism, the fundamental issue is not good vs evil. Quotes like garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think ring true. This podcast is about how other people keep themselves moving in the right direction, how they feed their good wolf.
Feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of modern life? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with David Loy, a professor and Japanese Zen Buddhism teacher, about how Buddhist principles can reshape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Drawing from his book, 'A New Buddhist Path: Enlightenment, Evolution, and Ethics in the Modern World', Loy offers a unique perspective on the intersection of Buddhism and contemporary Western culture.
They explore how mindfulness and psychotherapy can work together, the pitfalls of spiritual bypassing, and the illusion of a separate self. Loy argues that our sense of self isn't as fixed or real as we might think, and this realization can lead to profound personal and societal change. He also touches on how institutionalized greed and media influence our lives, yet remains hopeful about the potential for transformation.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about how ancient wisdom can offer fresh solutions to today's challenges.
