Buddhist Wisdom For When You're Exhausted From Being Yourself

Описание: Feeling exhausted isn't always about doing too much. Sometimes, it's the quiet, relentless work of being someone—of maintaining the story of "you," defending it, improving it, and seeking proof of its worth.

This is not a talk about building your self-esteem. It’s an invitation to examine the builder.

we explore a different way of seeing, drawn from the heart of Buddhist wisdom. We won't be adding more tools to your self-improvement kit. Instead, we'll look at the hand that keeps reaching for them, and discover what's already here when the reaching stops.

What This Talk Includes:

The Myth of the Fixed Self: Why the belief in a solid "you" is the root of your exhaustion, and what you actually are.
Original Parables & Stories: Including the tale of the Useless Garden, the Potter and the Broken Bowl, the Lighthouse Keeper's Secret, and the Tailor of Silences.
Karma Without the Myth: Understanding cause and effect as natural law, not as a cosmic system of punishment and reward.
The Middle Way of Compassion: How to set boundaries without building walls, and give from fullness instead of depletion.
Equanimity as Your True Nature: Learning to be the sky that holds the weather of your emotions, not the storm itself.
The End of Seeking: What happens when you stop trying to become someone else and finally come home to your present experience.
This is a long-form, meditative exploration. It’s designed to be listened to like a guided meditation or a bedside story—a space to rest, to let the concepts sink in, and to see your own experience with new eyes.
