Lezione 1
The Root Of Suffering Explained: Attachment And Aversion
In Lesson 1, we delve into the intricate web of human emotions, guided by the ancient wisdom of Siddhartha Gautama, also known as Buddha. We explore the twin concepts of "Aversion" and "Attachment," which Buddha identified as the root causes of human suffering or 'unsatisfactoriness.' Through relatable examples and modern interpretations, this lesson helps you understand how these emotional states manifest in your daily life, from the gross symptoms like anger and greed to subtler forms like procrastination and the need for validation. By the end of this lesson, you'll gain a nuanced understanding of why you react the way you do to various emotional stimuli and how these reactions can either trap you in a cycle of suffering or become the key to unlocking a more balanced emotional life.
Lezione 2
The Buddhist Hack To Inner Peace
In Lesson 2, we explore the contrasting philosophies of the East and West and how they approach the concept of emotional well-being. While Western philosophy, rooted in the teachings of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, often seeks objective truth through rational inquiry, Eastern philosophy, influenced by figures like Confucius, Lao Tzu, and Buddha, emphasizes the importance of practice and emotional intuition. This lesson introduces you to two powerful Buddhist visualization exercises designed to help you manage attachment and aversion, the twin roots of emotional suffering. These simple yet transformative techniques encourage you to reframe your relationship with your emotions, allowing you to experience them fully without becoming ensnared. By the end of this lesson, you'll not only understand the cultural nuances that shape our emotional lives but also gain practical tools to navigate your emotional landscape more effectively.

I’m reminded of tong-Len practice, and the deep feeling of peace that comes from envisioning taking on others’ problems and sending them relief. It’s a powerful and rewarding practice.

Excellent. This is exactly what I needed to hear this morning. Recognizing my procrastination through escapism in spiritual techniques and using overdoing that (and anything seeming positive) creates imbalance.

This returned me to two key points in Buddhism I had lost track of - attachment and aversion - and how they can lead to suffering. I think the suggestions are helpful and could overtime assist in increasing happiness by way of calmness for example. But I will need to adapt them to cope with my main personal problems which are bad habits and...
