43. Four Aspects of Patient-Acceptance
มุมมอง 83 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this episode, David explores kshanti, or patient-acceptance, a pivotal concept in Buddhism. This approach is more than mere tolerance or passive resignation.

In this audio we dive into four aspects of patient-acceptance: acceptance, understanding, love, and fortitude, seeing how they collectively for...

    I think that we are looking for someone to say, they can bring your loved one back, unfortunately this is not reality, so when seeking comfort, the only comfort would to have someone say that they can bring your loved one back and since that is impossible, there will never be the comfort we are truly seeking. Also when you reach a certain age, it’s a guarantee that moving forward you can expect a lot of loss and grief. Since turning 50, I’ve lost most of my family, my pets, empty nest and there will be much more in my future, I wonder…what’s the point? Look to nature, life and death are just how it works, nature made a mistake giving humans emotions.

    12:39 IS THE WORST. People just want to forget and I want to talk about my loved ones. What do we do when people say "I can't deal with your grief anymore, it's too depressing and I don't have the emotional capacity to deal with the intensity of your pain". I respect their boundary, but it still hurts. I cried about Chamaco and that lady :( What a beautiful story.

    I totally agree, theres no real help, i have given up on psychologists because they are so incompetent, and 1 hr, they have a clock next to you, ticking, i always feel like i spoke for 2 mi utes, and they are focused on the money, a lot of money for a lot of nothing, i want something that is personal, a friend 🧡, i have no friends now to talk too, my sisters are selfish and narcissisti, i am going back to my AA but i have been unwell too, look its not a child, i never had children because i had cptsd, alcoholism, depression, wasn't happy in my relationship blah blah blah; i got a ragdollcat after a severe illness, 2 years, had to give him away! I am grief stricken, can't stop crying thin,ing. then implant made me ill!

      People keep asking me what’s wrong. I can’t hardly talk. I’m a only child. Mom was a orphan. She got vascular dementia and died in my arms 11 days ago. I worked overseas for decades. I never married so mom was my all mother and best friend. I caretaked for her 24/7. I tried to hire outside people but medical as this lady speaks will make you turn away and I learned how to do everything. We had 3 dogs 2 of them died while she was dying So when someone says I’m sorry for your lose? It makes me cry all over again. Yesterday I ate 1 meal and tried to eat again and got sick. I had played it out in my head several times a day and I’m a military person so I thought moms better off. When she started leaving on a Saturday I mopped my floors cooked 1 of her favorite meals. And I ate andd so just couldn’t be ok. I held her and when she blew her last breath. I could feel my body changing. Because I’ve been so isolated here and not knowing really know anyone. I’ve been alone in various hemispheres. But for some reason I almost think I’ve been erased I don’t or can’t just pretend I’m good. I’ve got to face myself without mom. I want to I’m sorry for your loss. I need to do something but I’m clueless

    You are so right! I just lost my husband of 45 yrs. I hated my grief because it made me so sick. But I listened to people on TH-cam that said you have to embrace your grief even if it hurts. Its been almost 6 weeks since he died, and I'm still miserable but feel so much better since embracing it. Now I know that's what I have to do and I don't have so much anxiety. And that means slot to me. I was so anxious I couldn't sleep. I do have good days and bad days. I know one day I will be able to be happy again, I just don't know when...

    Thank you. I lost my husband suddenly to suicide loss three months ago and have seen the terror of such a thing being possible play out in some ugly ways. In the need to regain “safety”, some have besmirched my marriage, my love for my husband or have attacked his character or love for his children. There’s a desperate need to “other” me and my grief because it’s so awful and too much to sit with it being something none of us are truly safe from. I’ve realised I’ll have to look to my own instincts, the wisdom we just have when we need it, and invite it in. The only way through anything is through it. There’s no avoiding it. It’s very shocking to find how little societal wisdom and support you find in these moments, death being so universal. Thank you for being a voice of wisdom for those of us who need to hear it’s natural and of course it hurts if we loved deeply, and it won’t kill us. It might if we don’t live with it and try to ignore / avoid the pain. That’s a way to get very sick.

      Hello Lolly. I paused and have stopped listening to Dr Joanne so I could completely focus on what you have shared. I read your words in silence because I wanted to feel the full impact of everything you have shared here. I realize that so much of what I could say or what others may attempt to say may indeed sound trite or perhaps similar to platitudes and I do not want this to be the case here. I truly understand your pain and sense of deep loss. I agree with you in everything you wrote regarding others opinions and how this society in general offers so little to you. I know, there are no words that can fully describe your experience. There are however other cultures around the world that are not antiseptically fear based when their people are confronted with loss. The Tibetans readily come to mind as well as India. There are others. I am moved and attempting to offer support and for you to feel heard. I realize all of what I'm saying here falls short even though I am sincere. I wish for you, peace and comfort.

Medications don't always work either and that's frustrating.I'm so sorry for your pain.One day we both will be able to be happy again. I do wish it would hurry but know we have to embrace our grief. This grief consumes my life right now. I'm obsessed with my husband right now. I know that will change somewhat. I was a nurse and never realized the impact at all had on a human being until I walked in those shoes. But I feel it will get better at some point for both of us. Ill keep you in my prayers for a long time...

    i wonder if alan ever investigates near death experiences (ndes). i ridicule western science for not doing so, because they totally destroy the idea of materialism. there is a tremendous body of evidence and wisdom. and people, who have had their lives immeasurably changed FOR THE BETTER. most claim to have out of body experiences, but we have OBJECTIVE evidence that they know things about the operation, while being unconscious on the table. stuff they could not possibly know about, in any sort of materialistic way. to disregard this body of work demonstrates to me a bias towards one's own mindset. most of them get to heaven, and have conversations with a loving being, as well as a life review. while the individual experiences seem to be tailored for the individual experiencer, the basic message they bring back is very similar. i am no longer on the fence, regarding the existence of god. and when we put that information into the pot, everything else makes perfect sense.

    @squamish4244 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    We've always said brain, actually, for the several centuries that we've known it is associated with cognition. We started using brain more because our knowledge of the brain has skyrocketed in the last 20 years. It's still very limited, but it's immensely more advanced than it was. I don't think it's any more complicated than that. Alan seems to have an axe to grind with physical science, which is very unfortunate, because neuroscience has huge potential to radically accelerate the spiritual path and democratize enlightenment, making it available to everyone. As long as enlightenment remains the province of a fraction of society that can dedicate itself to full-time practice, we're doomed as a civilization.

      We've never always used brain and mind interchangeably. And he loves the physical sciences. I guess it's true that if your mind is warped, anything entering it will get twisted en route. And if you call questioning the fact that psychology doesn't even acknowledge mental perception an axe to grind, then I don't know what to tell you. Maybe listen instead of looking for ways to argue 🤷‍♂️ And why then if neuroscience is of such benefit, has depression increased by 1000 percent since their inception 60 years ago while at the same time, the number of mental health care professionals has also increased by 1000 %?

      Maybe wake up (experience the waking state lucidly) and cut all this back and forth at the root? Realize that without conceptual designations, there are no objects, that is there is nothing that has something else (other than your labels) as a property. Now there's a revolution of the mind sciences that you should be concerning yourself with.

      @@ezeeproproperties8352 Alan's stats are partly wrong. First, depression is actually worse in the poorest countries. Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest rates of depression in the world. Second, we are correctly diagnosing depression at a much higher rate today, whereas back in the day people just grinned and bore it and were miserable, committed suicide - which was also much higher in the early 20th Century - or drank. He is right that depression has increased - but only since the financial crisis and the rise of social media in 2008. In April, I'm going to get focused ultrasound at Sunnybrook Hospital in Canada on a deep structure in my brain to help shut off my OCD and in general quiet my brain. 20 years of meditation has had no effect on the OCD. Should I do this procedure, according to you? Focused ultrasound on the basal ganglia in a study at the U of Arizona has also shown tremendous results. Several 50-year meditators have had it done and reported the deepest states of mental quiet they have ever experienced. It works wonders for novice meditators too. In other research centres, they're also targetinng the amygdala for anxiety. In another study, researchers used deep brain stimulation to 'wind down' the activity in another part of the brain associated with the mental commentary on pain, in terminally ill cancer patients. The procedure was so effective that the people who had it done found that they didn't need morphine anymore until the very last weeks of their lives. Here is a quote from the Dalai Lama when he addressed a neuroscience conference in 2005: _"If it was possible to become free of negative emotions by a riskless implementation of an electrode - without impairing intelligence and the critical mind - I would be the first patient."_ Everything is impermanent, even the skillful means of Buddhism.

      @@ezeeproproperties8352 Depression has not increased by 1000% (where did you get that figure - can I have sources?) in 60 years. Do you really think people were less depressed when they couldn't feed their kids and worked themselves to the bone 12 hours a day? Or fought in WW2? Or whatever? The _diagnosis_ of depression has increased by a great deal, because there are more professionals around to deal with it. PTSD wasn't even a term until 1975. And so on. Neuroscience hasn't been of much benefit to us yet because it is very complex, and the tools that can effectively make use of it are just starting to become practical - transcranial magnetic stimulation, focused ultrasound etc. It's hard. The subject is very complex. I can tell you this much - I have suffered horribly from OCD for 20 years, and nothing, absolutely nothing I tried could do anything about it. Not meditation, not healers, not psychedelics, not nothing. It was a HUGE obstacle to my dharma practice. It led to doctor-prescribed addiction, which caused vastly _more_ problems. I had to go into detox for the addiction. Then I got focused ultrasound to destroy a tiny nerve cluster deep in my brain associated with OCD. I felt very tired for a month afterwards. But my OCD symptoms declined drastically as my whole brain rewired around the change over the course of a year. More than 10,000 hours of meditation was able to do. My quality of life has vastly improved. Neuroscience enabled this to happen. So what do you have to say about that? If neuroscience can do this much already, what will it be able to do eventually? This is the faintest glimmer of what's coming. I expect that you won't answer this question, because it's too much of a challenge to what you wrote, but grow a backbone and give me an answer, buddy.

    Slow life is the best. I feel you. Unfortunately we live in a society that is obsessed with superficial things and the "right now's world" as I use to call it. Everything has to be done quick, fast, and nobody values the natural process of things, of life itself. If we catch a cold we want to heal in two days, we want the work to be done in a second and that's impossible. Life has its cycles and, as nature, everything has a process. Very peaceful video, wanting to see more n.n
