The peace of mind, the inner joy, the loving kindness that you have in your heart, that would actually help you in the intermediate state or your next life.
In this enlightening episode of 'How to Train a Happy Mind', host Scott Snibby delves into the profound teachings of Venerable René Feusi, a revered Tibetan Buddhist teacher. Despite his inclination for solitude and humility, Feusi's public talk at Tse Chen Ling Center in San Francisco offers valuable insights into the transformative power of concentrated awareness.
Scott shares his personal journey of learning from Venerable René over the past 25 years, highlighting the significant impact of his teachings on cultivating a meaningful and joyful life. The discussion explores the practical aspects of calm abiding, emphasizing the importance of experiencing inner peace amidst the complexities of modern life. René Feusi reflects on the contrasting pace of life in ancient India and Tibet, suggesting that people naturally experienced inner contentment without technological distractions.
He encourages listeners to find peace in simple moments, such as enjoying a cup of tea or listening to music, underscoring that inner joy and loving kindness are timeless. The episode also touches upon ethical reflections and racial karma, featuring insights from Dr. Larry Ward, Kazu Haga, and Tenzin Choki, each discussing different aspects of the Buddhist perfections. The forthcoming exploration of the perfection of wisdom with Geshe Sherab promises to be equally enriching.
Listeners are invited to join the Train a Happy Mind community for meditations, live discussions, and classes grounded in a non-religious approach to authentic Buddhist practice. Scott's book, 'How to Train a Happy Mind', is recommended for those seeking psychological tools to build resilience and joy, with a foreword by the Dalai Lama. This podcast remains a non-profit, ad-free offering, supported by generous listeners.
May this episode inspire you to embrace moments of presence, grounding, and joy in the beauty of being you.
