Eight Worldly Winds | Mindful Q&A #30

In this thirtieth installment of the ongoing live series with Wendy Nash inquiring into meditation practice on and off the cushion we focus on the Eight Vicissitudes or Worldly Winds. I sometimes consider these as somewhat a psychology class crash course. While these don't often seem to have a direct connection with formal meditation practices they are so interwoven into nearly every aspect of our lives in this world that their residues can easily carry over onto the cushion while the benefits from our practice naturally allow us to more skillfully navigate, meet and respond to gain and loss, pleasure and pain, praise and blame, fame and disrepute.
