Ayya Anandabodhi is the spiritual director of Pārāyana Vihāra, a monastic residence in Port Townsend, WA. She was raised in Wales, in the UK, and first encountered Buddhism in her early teens and began training as a nun at age 24. You can listen to some of her Dharma talks, here.

In this episode we talk about:

• The difference between centering vs equanimity
• How to break out of old patterns
• The power of pausing
• How anger is justified, but it doesn't help
• A quick but deep dive into the Four Noble truths, a foundational Buddhist list
• We tackle the tricky topic of "true nature"
• We talk about the vital role of that treacly and often misunderstood term, compassion
