In this episode, Gen Kelsang Lhachog, talks about our fears — of failure, loss, loneliness, or rejection. First she explains the difference between fear that can help and protect us, such as fear of deadly Australian snakes! And fears that paralyse our happiness and wellbeing. She then drills down to what is under those fears — the root fear that affects us all. Further reading in the following books: The New Eight Steps to Happiness How to Solve Our Human Problems

There's a particular kind of quiet that comes not from silence, but from understanding. Living Clarity is an invitation into that space, guided by the practical wisdom of Kadampa Buddhism. Each episode feels less like a lecture and more like a conversation about how ancient principles meet the noise of contemporary life-managing stress, finding focus in a distracted world, and cultivating a genuine sense of well-being that touches both mind and body. You'll hear guided meditations that are accessible whether you're sitting on a cushion or during a lunch break, alongside discussions that break down philosophical ideas into tools for everyday resilience. This podcast, presented by Kadampa Buddhism, operates at the intersection of personal health and spiritual inquiry, suggesting that clarity isn't a distant goal but a way of moving through your daily routines with more intention and less friction. It’s for anyone curious about how a centuries-old tradition can offer fresh perspectives on modern challenges, from relationships to personal fitness goals to simply finding a moment of peace. The teachings here are presented as a lived experience, emphasizing that a clearer, more compassionate life is built through small, consistent insights rather than grand revelations. Tune in when you need a thoughtful pause or a practical nudge toward a more balanced and fulfilling day.
