Finding Solace Within: A Buddhist Perspective on Loneliness
Gradually, I’ve found my own way toward refuge in the deeper stillness and caring that it’s possible to find within yourself- qualities of the mind and qualities of the heart.
What do you do when you're alone? It's a question many of us face, especially during those moments when anxiety, loneliness, or fear creep in. In this thought-provoking episode of 'A Skeptic's Path to Enlightenment', host Scott Snibbe takes listeners on a journey through the intricate workings of the mind during times of distress. Instead of turning to temporary fixes like work, entertainment, or substances, Snibbe encourages us to look inward and find strength within ourselves.
Drawing from Buddhist philosophy, he explores how stillness and compassion can serve as powerful refuges. By the end of the episode, you'll have a deeper understanding of your own coping mechanisms and learn how to cultivate inner peace. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to explore Buddhist teachings and develop a more compassionate mindset.
