On Buddhism & Protest, Finding Deeper Meaning in Crisis w/ Edward Sczudlo

On this week’s episode, we welcome back my Topanga neighbor and friend, Edward Sczudlo. Not only is Edward one of my favorite neighbors, but he’s a Dharma friend. Having met through the local yoga studio, Edward is one of those favorite friends that brings me views of the world that help me to see things more clearly.

The inspiration for this show came unexpectedly. Drinking tea one afternoon, I asked Edward to share about the Buddhist perspective on what I see as horrible things in the world. The conversation that followed moved me and shifted things in such a way that it helped me to digest what I’m seeing in the world. A profound and visceral sense of responsibility for what is being manifested on this planet was born out of that conversation with Edward, so I’m sharing it with you in case it is useful to understand the Buddhist perspective. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• The 3 levels of interdependence
• The nature of mind
• The importance of practicing ethics
• How practicing ethics can evolve our consciousness 
• New ways to think about the crisis’ we are seeing
• & so much more!
