299. A Buddhist Teaching for when Everything’s Awful.
Update: 2025-10-17
Description
Waylon speaks with the Elephant community about a Buddhist teaching that will always bring you back to the truth, especially when things are at their hardest and it feels like the world is going to crap. Lean on this notion.
“Impermanence is a teaching that reminds us that when we can’t find any ground, when there’s chaos…that’s actually good news because we’re living in the truth that there is no solidity. That who we are doesn’t really stop with who you are and doesn’t really stop with this tree over here or with the sky above. Impermanence actually makes us an environmentalist because we care about everything—the greater good—including ourselves.” ~ Waylon H. Lewis
