Turning Toward Life Part A

Buddhism is a way of turning toward and relaxing into what life brings. It doesn’t protect us from misfortune. But it does give us resilience. And it doesn’t fix us, because we aren’t broken. It’s a way of discovering what’s already here deep within.

Wonderful talk. Resonated so much with me. Since learning about buddhism I always feel it's exactly the idea that resonated with me and my beliefs. This talk was simple, meaningful and emotional even. Thank you. 💞🙏

A charming talk with an unforgettable metaphor about facing & relaxing into life's waves. Because I used to visit Galveston Beach with my family, too, this reached a special place in my heart 💕 Thank you 🙏🏻

I love the analogy of leaning and diving into the waves. I live on the other side of the gulf so I have experienced the same thing. It's a perfect visualisation for leaning into difficulty.
Namaste 🙏

Listening "There's a way" by Jim Scott right now. Thank you very much. Love your talk, it represents a great support and inspiration when I listen it.

Doug is a wonderful teacher. This is a great talk.
Thank you😁🙏❤️

I much enjoyed this. I seem to always find something of a pearl.

Excellent insights thanks Doug

Appreciated the practical imagery of the waves and how we choose to respond. Also, the reminder that nothing can save us, that meditation does not spare us, but gives us an opportunity to turn towards.

Thank you. I found your imagery very on point. I look forward to part B.
