Invictus is the movie - great message!

Another great talk and I feel certain in the calm center I’ve had the Grace to know and strengthen through practice. It really helps me to hear your wise and practical suggestions. It is essential to my ability to cope to have a plan to move forward especially right now. How to train my mind to develop equanimity. (Your words). I am so grateful to you for all your hard-work and talent in bring these ideas to the world.

Thank you, I needed this more than I can say

This helped me this morning. I was having trouble dealing with the US election, even after weeks of trying to keep it in perspective. With Christmas gatherings coming up I need to attain equanimity to deal with the rifts amongst family and friends.

Thank you for giving me tools to work on my well being. The movie you referenced, I believe is Invictus. I heard a great summary of Mandela’s equanimity in Mission Joy (and companion Book of Joy.

Thanks!

Thank you so much Rick.That was beautiful.Thoroughly enjoy your weekly podcast with your lovely son too.Blessings from Germany ❤

Ty Rick!!!❤❤❤

Thank you for the talk and for sharing your triangle of true. I sometimes play with the Climate Impact Lab map at the global scale and think about the world's current emissions. It tends to cast global politics in a new light. It's helpful to be reminded of the good that's happening in the world and the good that each of us can do. Sorry about your tooth. I hope it's better soon.

Thank you for bringing peace "om mane padme om"

Thank you so much. I feel hope again--I know that I can keep going, though at times, my spirit wants to quit. I won't quit. I'll keep recycling and donating to causes that make the world a better place. .And thanks for the teachings over the years. I share several of your practices with my college-aged meditation students.

What a kind voice !

Thank you Rick! I met you in the early 2000’s when you worked with Dr. Mendius. I later read Buddha’s Brain. I’m happy to find you online teaching. This talk was helpful to me just now. I appreciate you. I look forward to more. 🙏🏽

Love your calming, compassionate voice💚

Very timely and very important thank you❤

Thank you for this meditation 🙂

Thanks

Why I opened the video and got the craziest body chill, kindred souls!!! Plus like looking into a mirror, looking at someone like me! Definitely going to look you up, found your resources cant wait to learn so much more! Thanks Rick, you always have the best guests on your channel, our soul channels!!!

I just watched this, 10 days past the election, and I found it extremely helpful. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your earlier ambivalence towards life. I feel that now at 51.

I cannot accept Donald Trump as a president because he was unqualified to run by the 14th amendment. He is a convicted felon and rapist. We cannot allow this man to lead America 🇺🇸 because he is going nowhere good or acceptable.

Finding the sweet spot between cognitive/spiritual bypassing and rumination is the holy grail for me.

When you said under the disgust is care, that was what I needed to hear. I was not recognizing that part. Thanks, Rick. You're a treasure.

Thank you for your time and energy to make this video

My mind has lots of questions for him.. I don't need to have answers for them?

Thank you, Rick! As an Elder of 80, I haven’t been taking care of my heart. My father died in WWII, and he didn’t die for this! So now I’m beginning to hum with the monks, stretch my broken body, and heal the pain in my heart. These steps are useful; I’m grateful that I found you with your gentle presence and wise advice.

Thank you, dear bodhisattva Rick. Deep bows.

Beautiful. Thank you 🙏

Trump is not nor never will be a president. His oath of office means less than nothing to him. He is a Domestic terrorist that our antiquated system of law allowed to run for the office he tried to destroy. He is a fascist and we owe him no allegiance whatsoever. Something is really wrong with those election results. More evidence of voter suppression coming in.

Thank you so much. I also find it helpful to see Trump supporters as people who are really struggling deep within. A sociologist explains Trumps success among white workers like this: He perfectly sensed their shame and turned it into anger. But not by blaming the system that took away their jobs and good wages - instead he blames others: migrants, the "deep state", minorities, left parties. They will have to learn a hard lesson and I wish everybody the best with that.

He sent me an email before the elections promoting Kamala Harris. I think that's totally inappropriate. Educators and mental health professionals need to stay politically neutral.

Love this ❤
