Understanding Yourself

Understanding Yourself

Author: Yeshe Rabgye December 14, 2024 Duration: 13:24

Self-awareness is an important skill that can really change your life. It’s all about knowing your thoughts, feelings, and actions. When you get self-aware, you start to understand who you are and what you actually want. In this podcast, I want to talk about what we need to pay attention to, why it matters, the benefits it brings and how to build self-awareness.

Being self-aware means having a good grasp of the things that influence how we act, feel, and relate to others. Let’s dive into five key areas of self-awareness that can boost our lives and relationships.

In a world often filled with noise, Buddhism Guide offers a space for practical reflection. Hosted by Yeshe Rabgye, a Buddhist monk originally from England, this podcast approaches ancient wisdom with a grounded, secular perspective. Yeshe travels internationally, sharing teachings on meditation, mindfulness, and mental well-being, but here he distils those conversations into accessible audio sessions. The tone is deliberately unpretentious, stripping away cultural ornamentation to focus on the core principles that can be applied to modern life. You won't find dogma here; instead, each episode invites a personal examination of your own mind and experiences. Yeshe presents ideas with clarity, never demanding blind acceptance but encouraging thoughtful inquiry. Whether exploring the nature of suffering, the mechanics of meditation, or the everyday cultivation of compassion, this podcast serves as a pragmatic companion. It’s for anyone curious about how Buddhist thought can inform a more resilient and aware existence, regardless of spiritual background. Tuning in feels less like attending a lecture and more like engaging in a considered dialogue, one that values your own insight as much as the teaching itself.
