"It's All Yours" - Responding To Disrespect & Insult

As the Buddha’s teachings remind us over and over, even though it’s difficult, we never want to let another person’s anger, disrespect, or cruelty harden our own hearts. Instead, we want our meditation practice to serve as a kind of guard for our hearts - a strong shield that can protect us against the power that other people’s disrespect can often have over us.

This talk explores how we can develop mindfulness tools that can help us to more calmly and kindly respond to the unkind behavior of others. It includes a meditation at the end.

Very practical & insightful. Pace of speech is just right and puts me in a reflective mood. I am able to slow down, calm down and feel my feet on the ground. Please do more on this topic, thanks.

I forget who says - what other people think of you is none of your business

Now I can add what other people say is also not for me.

All steps towards more equanimity:)

So heartfelt and sensitive. You speak right to my heart and soul and they hear you. Thank you so so much.
