Henry Shukman on Embracing Pain and Finding Spiritual Growth
“In the Buddhist view, all of us have what are known as the three poisons, which are greed and hatred, or desire and aversion, or desire and ill will and delusion.”
Ever wondered if facing your pain head-on could be the key to healing? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Henry Shukman to explore this profound idea. Henry, a seasoned Zen teacher and poet, shares his journey of discovering deeper parts of himself through the practice of Zen and the art of poetry. He discusses how embracing pain rather than avoiding it can open doors to spiritual growth and healing.
They chat about the importance of having a spiritual mentor, the power of community in one's spiritual journey, and how ordinary moments can hold extraordinary meaning. Henry also delves into the practice of working with koans, those paradoxical questions that can lead to enlightenment. If you're on a path of self-discovery and healing, this episode offers a treasure trove of wisdom and practical insights. Tune in for a conversation that's as enlightening as it is comforting.
