eB 142 - The Best Revenge

About this episode

Jampal Norbu explores how our narratives shape our perceptions and discusses Lojong verse 32: Do Not Wait In Ambush.

We are full of stories. Our whole relative experience can be seen as such, just stories. Stories are helpful in comprehending experience, but stories also confuse our very perceptions. When our sense of self importance writes the narrative, we typically arrive at stories that are corrosive to positive agency, confidence and contentment. Through Lojong we're encouraged to be aware of who from within is telling the story. Jampal Norbu examines Lojong verse 32: Do Not Wait In Ambush.
