The problem with shame

Kitchen Sink Dharma ·

2023/08/16

For many people, shame is a background noise that colours all experience. When we’re in the grip of shame we see a faulty self. That negative self-view can even become a habit. But really it’s just a story and it’s not who we are.

Walking through the fire

Kitchen Sink Dharma ·

2023/08/09

If we look at our experience through the course of the day, we can see that it’s often full of little irritations. Nobody does what they should be doing, nothing quite works the way we want it to. The world is in our way. It isn't necessary to live like this, we don't have to live in a state of dissatisfaction and resentment. True contentment is possible if we're willing to walk through the fire.

A wall around the heart

Kitchen Sink Dharma ·

2023/07/26

We attach too much of our sense of self-worth to how others see us because we think we’re not good enough as we are. We try to earn approval by making sure we never get it wrong. Instead of worrying about what people think of us, we can learn to embrace vulnerability, uncertainty and emotional exposure. Then we can open up to our world with friendliness and forget about having to be perfect.

The only way is ethics

Kitchen Sink Dharma ·

2023/07/19

The early Buddhist teachings present a consistent vision of how to live. There’s a strong emphasis on purifying ourselves of greed, hatred, and delusion. This is not about a set of commandments or the idea that if you do bad things the karma police will get you. It’s about living skilfully, in way that’s conducive to happiness and wellbeing.

The desire to be normal

Kitchen Sink Dharma ·

2023/07/13

We can all become disenchanted with our culture and its stories - its greed, its selfishness, its insecurity, its limiting notions of success. J. Krishnamurti once said: ‘It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.’ So should we try and fit in or simply opt out? Or is there another way?

Emotions and the body

Kitchen Sink Dharma ·

2023/07/05

Mindfulness of the body helps us to work constructively with our emotions and accept them for what they are, passing states. Emotions are nothing to be afraid of but we often invest a lot of energy into avoiding feeling them.

2023/06/30

We can't avoid holding views and opinions but there are times when we could do with holding them a little more lightly.

Kitchen Sink Dharma ·
