1. This was great and helped me. Thank you, Dr. Brach.
2. <3 religious women always look so pretty
3. My boss, a man, is like that, excited and anticipating about cakes and sweets and I hate it when he forces it on people. I do not have much craving for sweets and I do not want to develop one just because I work for a certain company. We all have our needs.
4. People, rellax and stop stressing yourself with mindfulness and heartfulness.
5. I love Tara. She looks like compassion itself.
6. Being the or a hero in our own dream of separation/individual existence...the ultimate hook? Repetitious hooking/unhooking...maybe it's just "one problem with one solution". Forgiveness and Love. Without resistance/judgement what is the problem?
7. Good video. But Tara, why - if you are so enlightened - do you make these sexist jokes? I'm a man; I respect my wife as an equal, and it's so obvious to me. "What a woman wants"? How about what a man wants, instead? That joke just reinforces the stereotype of women being irrational, indecisive, nagging, etc. Try to select jokes that are more gender-neutral or more respectful of women as equal, intelligent human beings. Otherwise you are revealing your own "attachment" -- to the prevailing, pervasive culture that denigrates women so routinely and subtly that people, even supposedly enlightened Buddhists, are under its trance. Or maybe you are aware, and are pandering to the crowd. i do hope it is the former.
8. There are no hungry ghost realm in my religion, but there are heaven and hell and not 3 or 2 God. But one God and his name is God creator of heaven and earth and Jesus Christ our Lord savior.
9. Another wonderful video by Tara.....
10. Nothin worse than a super sensitive mic to make you feel like your inside a giant mouth. Is it just me?
11. This video is pure gold. Addiction mind, which manifests in many subtle forms is very skillfully engaged here. Buddhist or not, I'd encourage anyone who has ever experienced addiction to see this talk. There is a remarkable healing capacity in learning from someone like Tara, who has gone through her own personal struggles as a spiritual aspirant. I think her training in psychotherapy is a major plus here, since she's offering some very real world, tangible, in the trenches support here. Thank you Tara.
12. very beautiful inside and out
13. awesome
14. Do you think you might have an attachment to the color blue?Jokes :) That was very insightful. Thank you.
15. Wise woman. Thanks :-)
16. Thank you so much for sharing!you are so beautiful in all senses
17. !2:15 The hook: If our basic needs for food, for security, for bonding are not met, then our attention narrows and fixates, desires intensifies and the more unmet needs, the more we get fixated until we call it attachement or addiction. It's a substitute gratification, a reward. There's a feeling of lack then there is a mental delusion as to what will actually bring satisfaction of those unmet needs, that how we hook on the substitutes that give temporary relief, pleasure but don't really solve the problem. And we grasp.
18. I smoke joints to these clips
19. When you look for faults (saying that nobody in the casino was happy) you feed your own hungry ghost...a little.
