The Illusion of Separateness: Buddhism's Teachings on Loneliness, Love, and Human Connection with Koshin Paley Ellison 315
We will learn: How to shift your focus from external events to your personal growth. How to align your dreams and goals to higher guidance. Buddhism's path to overcoming isolation and finding connection Have you ever felt like you're the only person in a crowded room? Like you're surrounded by people, but still feel a sense of isolation? Buddhism says that thinking we're all separate is just us being delusional. This delusion is one of the "Three Poisons" that keep us stuck in a cycle of suffering, or Samsara. So, the way out is to break down that illusion and see that we're all interconnected. So, what if that lonely feeling is actually a sign? A nudge to look deeper and see how we're all connected? That's what we're diving into today: Loneliness, Love, and Human Connection, all from a Buddhist perspective.
