A 'Holiday' Dharma Tale (aka 'There's Nothing the Mind Can't be Trained to Do')
About this episode
The episode explores how to find meaningful Dharma practice during challenging holiday family gatherings.
This time of year can be difficult for many -- obligatory family gatherings, stress, pressure, stale relationships, contrived cheer, awkward communications, discomfort. But consider: perhaps there's no more fertile setting for meaningful Dharma practice -- and the profound rewards that accompany it -- than with and within our own families. -- Herein, a tale in which a modern day Bodhisattva provides thoughtful perspectives regarding some not-so-uncommon holiday challenges . . . (Length: 17 minutes) Written and shared here by Mark Winwood, an adjunct faculty member at Naropa University (Boulder, CO) and founder/curator of the Chenrezig Project; with music composed and performed by the renowned SF Bay-area musician Bobby Vega in collaboration with Chris Rossbach. contact: mwinwood@gmail.com
