You Don’t Have to Suffer over Memories | Robert Co, Keyshawn, Erik | 8.30.21

Dhammarato explains one of the powers that the Buddha talks about in MN 12: The Lions Roar—the power of great memory. This power is often mistranslated as the Buddha's ability to recollect of past lives, but when looked at in a non-magical way, it's a great teaching!

Right Livelihood, Noble Lifestyle, and Sympathetic Joy | Joni #6 | 8.28.21

Dhammarato and Joni talk about Right Livelihood as a part of the method for freedom. They discuss how it is in your power to make a job noble by changing your own attitude. Dhammarato states that a more wholesome job is to make friends with everyone within your work environment, including janitors and clerks. In the end, Joni dials in on a concept of Mudita, or Sympathetic Joy, which is an antidote to jealousy as well as a way to "make the medicine go down".
