He also shares insights from his own Buddhist practice and what chanting can offer in the journey of self-transformation. \r\n\r\nKey takeaway: Human beings heal through relationships, so how you show up in relationships matters … a lot. If you want to be really, truly happy, you have to learn to care for yourself well, to be yourself around other people, and also learn to care for other people well. Chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo and having a supportive community can help you do all of the above.\r\n\r\n\r\nCheatsheet:\r\n\r\n1:14 Episode Intro\r\n2:12 Introduction to Sean\r\n2:36 Why he started practicing Buddhism\r\n6:16 What brings people to therapy\r\n8:14 The difference between temporary and sustainable happiness\r\n11:05 The growth of self-awareness practices\r\n16:15 The limits of therapy and mindfulness\r\n18:23 How Buddhism can tackle the ego\r\n20:27 Why changing yourself is so hard\r\n22:19 What the Bodhisattva vow is, in plain English\r\n25:42 Why mastering human relationships is the key to most problems\r\n26:25 Creating a culture of caring for others\r\n29:43 How not to get drained by giving to others\r\n33:14 How therapy and Buddhism can work together\r\n37:08 Next week’s show","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ajGdaFVXQdQ3HytTaqBKAiF5Huk2qkLdKcWvWB5oclw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE0MTg0LzE2MDEz/MTA2MTEtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
