David Chernikoff talks about grief, joy, and awakening

Beth and David discuss David's upcoming in-person retreat with Flowering Lotus on the topics of grief, joy, and awakening.

David explains the retreat theme, saying spiritual awakening involves embracing life's 10,000 joys and sorrows with wisdom and compassion. The retreat aims to deepen practice and reflection on skillfully relating to these experiences.

David details how experiencing loss from a young age and working in hospice care led him to meditation. In his 20s, he was inspired by teachers working with the dying and converted from hedonism to Buddhism after borrowing a meditation book on his 21st birthday.

David outlines Buddhism's teachings on different types of happiness, suffering, and their causes. He explains how wisdom and compassion aid embracing both the bright and dark parts of reality, seeing them clearly as impermanent and without self.
