Navigating Identity Politics in the Dharma with Dr. Daniel Ingram and Gary Sanders
Manage episode 436136212 series 2968789
The Buddha taught that the 5 clinging agrregates lead to suffering. In a sense, identity itself leads to suffering. Trying to be "somebody." Join Dr. Daniel Ingram, Gary Sanders, and myself as we discuss how to navigate this topic and teach the Dharma effectively in world that is, at a glance, obsessed with identity.
It's a tough topic to navigate and one that is NEVER discussed. There's risk involved in even talking about this topic, but fortunatey for all of you I don't care about being cancelled or any of that.
This topic in particular lead to my being ostracized from Wildheart Meditation Center, due to motives that are all their own and I still don't understand.
I teach the Dharma (Dhamma) to help people END their suffering, not create more of it. There's too much enabling in American Dharma and not enough truth and honesty. The kindest thing you can do for someone is be honest with them. This is how we help, not by telling people what they WANT to hear, but telling them what the NEED to hear. Sometimes the truth isn't going to feel good, however.
That being said, I love you all and I hope you enjoy this conversation.
