Mindrolling Ep 225

Sharon Salzberg and Raghu share a conversation about the process of getting real with ourselves with the help of mindfulness and meditation practice.

“A lot of modern scholars don’t like the word right because it brings up ’wrong.’ I like the word right because I think there is a ‘wrong.’ That is not saying anyone is a bad person when they practice ‘wrong speech’ for example, but actions are consequential. The ‘wrong’ is a matter of pain, it’s not a matter of inherent goodness. When we cultivate habits that cause more and more suffering to ourselves or others, there is a wrongness there.” – Sharon Salzberg
