Episode notes
Patience As Forbearance, Not Grit
- Patience (khaṇṭi) is not passive gritting but peaceful coexistence with the unwished-for.
- True patience restrains action, speech, and mind so defilements burn out and problems often dissolve.
Wait With Faith And Gratitude
- When waiting, cultivate faith and acceptance rather than clinging to hope for specific outcomes.
- Lean into gratitude to hold steady through unavoidable difficulties.
Cultivate Truthfulness Skillfully
- Make honesty a foundational practice and prepare skillful truthful responses.
- Notice and reduce small exaggerations to build a reputation for sincerity.
