To get as free as possible...there's the moment-to-moment effort to overcome the suffering that your mind is creating against your will - the untrained monkey mind - which is gonna get in some fights in your mind, gonna get in some fantasies in your mind, and it's gonna watch some *********** and it’s gonna have some resentments.
Ever wondered how much effort it really takes to break free from suffering? In this episode of 'Against The Stream', Noah Levine, the founder of this American Buddhist lineage, dives into the concept of effort in Buddhism. He breaks it down into two key levels: the lifetime daily effort and the moment-to-moment effort. The first level involves long-term practices like ethics, precepts, and retreats. The second level is about tackling the immediate challenges posed by our untrained minds.
Noah shares his wisdom on meeting pain head-on and the crucial role of faith in Buddhism. He explains that having confidence in the path and verifying it through direct experience is essential. His insights are practical and relatable, offering listeners a roadmap to navigate their own struggles. Whether you're new to Buddhism or a seasoned practitioner, Noah's teachings provide valuable guidance on how to make progress, even when it feels like you're stuck in a rut.
This episode is perfect for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Buddhist practices and find effective ways to deal with life's challenges. Noah's approach is compassionate and down-to-earth, making complex concepts accessible to all. Tune in and discover how you can apply these teachings to your own journey towards liberation.
