Thank you. I listened to this episode after listening to podcast History On Fire about Ikkyu Sojun. Having run into sexism in some Buddhist communities in the US I was becoming confused about how to navigate it. I have a better understanding now.🙏
The addictions of multitasking and solving "problems" is something I can relate to. Been working on this for a while now and making headway, but this talk was very helpful. Being aware that this is a thing for others in a more deeper sense than just intellectually helps me give myself permission to let go. Gratefully 🙏
