Understanding the First Noble Truth with JoAnna Hardy - BHNN Guest Podcast Ep. 174

Reflecting on the inevitable truth of suffering, JoAnna Hardy explains what we do have jurisdiction over: our action, speech and mind.
This time on the BHNN Guest Podcast, JoAnna Hardy explains:
- Recognizing the first noble truth of suffering all around us
- Breaking down what we cannot control in life
- How resistance toward the inevitable causes suffering
- Reflecting on our ability to control our internal world (priorities, attitudes, etc.)
- How our speech and actions are in our jurisdiction
- Cultivating a wise, steady, and skillful heart and mind
- The mind as our sixth sense
- The way we latch on to the stories we tell ourselves
- How one mind-state can feed into another
- Retraining the phenomena of our habits
- The relief we can feel when we let go of what we cannot control
“When we sit here and deeply pay attention to this process of the mind, it’s so fascinating. What is under my control, what can I control? Pay attention every time you have a mind moment to what you do with it and to it, and how you hold it, and what you decide your next mind moment is going to be.” - JoAnna Hardy
