In the "Dzogchen and daily life" series, we continue our exploration of emotional "relief" by devoting the next three episodes to families of emotions that are directly linked to current upheavals, particularly those of a climatic and ecological nature.
In this seventh episode, we take a closer look at one of the families of emotions that emerge in reaction to these upheavals: frustration and anger, and even protest (desire for justice).
Host: Marie-Laure
Few of us are really clear about our emotions, especially when they affect the deeper structures of our being, other species and the earth itself. Yet these emotions are increasingly present in our lives, and we feel often powerless about it. Is there anything we can do? Certainly, according to Mila Khyentse Rinpoche.
Notes
Dzogchen is a directly accessible tradition that can be practiced in a variety of ways in our daily lives, focusing on liberation from suffering and the means to achieve it. In this episode, we explore some aspects of frustration and anger in response to ecological upheaval, with the valuable insights of Mila Khyentse.
