We will learn: How to shift your focus from external events to your personal growth. How to align your dreams and goals to higher guidance. Buddhism's path to overcoming isolation and finding connection Have you ever felt like you're the only person in a crowded room? Like you're surrounded by people, but still feel a sense of isolation? Buddhism says that thinking we're all separate is just us being delusional. This delusion is one of the "Three Poisons" that keep us stuck in a cycle of suffering, or Samsara. So, the way out is to break down that illusion and see that we're all interconnected. So, what if that lonely feeling is actually a sign? A nudge to look deeper and see how we're all connected? That's what we're diving into today: Loneliness, Love, and Human Connection, all from a Buddhist perspective.

Waylon talks with Zen Buddhist teacher Koshin Paley Ellison about Buddhism's eightfold path—what is it, and how does it apply to our everyday life?  Koshin, author of "Untangled; Walking the Eightfold Path to Clarity, Courage, and Compassion." is the co-founder of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care. “What's so beautiful is that inside of the eightfold path, it's not linear. Some of us want to jump from one to the next, but we also honor where we get caught and where we struggle. Our struggles don't ever really end, but our relationship to them changes because of how we focus on them through the aspects of the eightfold path.” ~ Koshin Paley Ellison Read the accompanying article on Elephant Journal for more context.  Thanks for listening. Hope you're getting a lot out of it.

In his work as a contemplative caregiver, Koshin seeks to better understand the causes of suffering and works to nurture sources of strength such as resilience and compassion. In their time together, Jerry and Koshin contemplate epigenetic trauma and the varying ways our personal suffering can be tangled by the experiences of our ancestors. They marvel at the power of love, and the healing that can come from bearing witness to our own suffering and the suffering of others. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

“If we want to be free, at some point we have to plant our staff in the ground and say, 'I am here.'"  — Koshin Paley Ellison This week's guest is Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison, founder and guiding teacher of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care. Ellison is an author, Jungian psychotherapist and ACPE Certified Chaplain Educator. Koshin has served as the co-director for Contemplative Care Services in the Department of Integrative Medicine at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center and is currently on the faculty of the University of Arizona Medical School's Center for Integrative Medicine. His most recent book is Untangled: Walking the Eightfold Path to Clarity, Courage and Compassion.  While Koshin has extensive education, he explains that it's ultimately all been in search of deeper meaning. As a young man he discovered the poetry of Marie Howe and was moved to seek her out as a teacher. He subsequently studied under her, earning an MFA. Then, after serving as a hospital chaplain, he went on to get a degree in social work in order to learn how to help others better. This led him to studying psychoanalysis. But clearly what has most deeply informed Koshin's life is his practice of Zen meditation, which he's formally studied since 1987.  "Zen," Koshin explains, simply means sitting meditation. It's one of the various practices of meditation, and all are valid routes to self-reflection and exploration. It was this practice that enabled him to sit with and be present with the dying as a hospital chaplain. He started in this work when his grandmother was dying, who observed that he and his "Zen people" were the only people who could be fully present with her, without distraction, fear, or busy-ness. He credits her as the real founder of the Zen Center for Contemplative Care. In an effort to bring these principles to the medical community, Koshin helps doctors and other clinicians bring a contemplative practice to their work and their lives, enabling them to be more present for their patients, as well as themselves.  Ultimately, what's important, Koshin says, is that we not get too attached to our identity. We take on different identities throughout our days and lives depending on the situation we're in. Letting go of attachment to one's identity is key. He also believes that suffering is rooted in the gap between what we believe to be right and good and how we act daily, and he strives to help people to close that gap in order to live more authentic, meaningful lives. In this episode of Leading with Genuine Care, you'll also learn: How a traumatic memory from Koshin's childhood came back to him and how he responded  His first lesson as an 11-year-old karate student  His own moments of insight with being attached to his identity   Why Buddhism is still relevant today How anxiety is an addiction  How he finds gratitude and appreciation in everyday life  Connect With Koshin Paley Ellison Website https://zencare.org Instagram @koshipaleyellison   The 2023 Do Nothing Retreat is open for registration (5 spots remaining) Join us from October 8-12 for The Do Nothing Retreat,  a mindfulness meditation retreat suitable for meditators at all levels The retreat will enable you to cultivate a deeper mindfulness practice while in a peaceful and rejuvenating mountain location.

Many of us live like this just under the surface of what we think is going well.   [7:22] In the Zen tradition, they often say that if you want to work with a practice to do it fully for 30 years and then evaluate how it's going. This view says it takes time to undo our habits.    [9:38] Another Zen teaching is: you'll never be free until you can be still with your pain. Once you are able, you learn to relax in the face of pain and discomfort.   [13:59] Epigenetic trauma – including Holocaust trauma - being passed down over generations. For a long time, Koshin identified as a victim of abuse, resulting in a lack of trust, and a lack of alignment between his actions and his words.    [20:00] Compassion is about connecting to others and suffering with one another. It is the beginning of love: to realize it's amazing that we exist, that we all struggle with things, and it's a miracle that we can look at each other and be alive in this world. This is also the foundation of belonging and an antidote to loneliness.    [22:18] Dr. Amy observes it's increasingly difficult to find people who are willing to be truly vulnerable and who are willing to say, “I'm not having the best day today.” The facades seem to keep going up and up despite these feelings of loneliness and disconnection, which feel disingenuous.    [24:40] Find your five. Ask yourself who in your life will show up for you no matter what. If you don't have five, start with one. Practice how to have relationships that are meaningful with these people in your life.   [26:29] Seated meditation in the midst of our lives is very powerful. Practice meditation to feel grounded all the time, so that everywhere and every time in your life can be a place of practice. The posture of how we hold ourselves creates the container for living clearly and in the time of our lives.   [28:29] Enlightenment means to bring in light. The path of mystery. Ask yourself, “What am I engaged in that brings in light, clarity, courage, and compassion?” For Koshin, it's when his values and actions are aligned and he is feeling clear.   [30:45] Koshin's experiences with people who are approaching death. What he finds most amazing is that each person's passing is unique to them. What causes the greatest end-of-life regret is a lack of courage and compassion in life.

We've all got parts of our personality or our past that we're ashamed of. We might refer to these parts of ourselves as our demons, our baggage, or our secrets; no one is immune.So, how do you want to deal with this situation? Stay coiled in shame and denial? That only makes the demons stronger. An alternative, per my guest Koshin Paley Ellison, is to approach your stuff with “healthy embarrassment.” That allows you to work more skillfully with your baggage so that it doesn't own you. And once you're cooler with yourself, that can improve your relationships with other people, which is probably the most important variable for your happiness. And healthy embarrassment is just one of many extremely useful things we are going to talk about today.Koshin Paley Ellison is an author, Zen teacher, Jungian psychotherapist, and Certified Chaplaincy Educator. He is the co-founder of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care, an amazing place which, among other things, trains people to be volunteers in hospice centers. Koshin is the author of a new book called Untangled: Walking the Eightfold Path to Clarity, Courage, and Compassion, which centers on a classic Buddhist list called The Eightfold Path, the Buddha's recipe for enlightenment or, as Koshin puts it, “the most awesome combo platter.”In this episode we talk about:What is The Eightfold Path and how it fits into another Buddhist list, The Four Noble TruthsHow to use the list to do life betterThe danger of perfectionism in putting the list to use in your lifeHow to bridge the gap between what we say we care about and what we're actually doing with our livesHow sitting with your pain can lead to freedomThe utility and pitfalls of gossipHow we can look at the idea of “killing” in many different ways, including how one can “kill a moment” or “the energy in a room”How the concept of “right effort” can help us find the balance between not doing enough and overworking ourselvesHow being uncomfortable is a sign of real engagement with our practiceAnd Koshin's addition of the concept of “mystery” as another aspect of the eightfold pathFull Shownotes: www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/koshin-paley-ellison-528See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's guest is Koshin Paley Ellison. He is A Zen teacher, Jungian Psychotherapist, and Cofounder of the NY Zen Center where he, and his partner Chodo, have numerous trainings and gatherings. His new book is called, ironically, Untangled. Walking the Eightfold Path to Clarity, Courage, and Compassion. The book takes us through the process of creating profound change, both inside and out. Life can be so fragile and subject to ever-changing circumstances, good, messy, difficult and all of the above— and these changes have the tendency to “tangle" us up in our own web of stories. This, he says, tends to create suffering, so Koshin offers many insights and inspirations for how we can untangle the tangles, allowing for greater clarity AND acceptance. We can learn to find balance with the whole range of joy and pain. He says that we can never be free until we can be still with our pain AND…that everything we encounter in life can be a place of practice. What a great piece of wisdom.

Clarifying who we are no matter what life throws at us, having the courage to achieve things in life no matter how many times we fail, and being able to understand and feel empathy for others are some of the most important aspects that we have to attach to our personality. In today's episode, we are joined by Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison; president and co-guiding teacher at New York Zen Center for contemplative care, a Zen practice center in Manhattan to discuss his upcoming book ‘Untangled'. Throughout the episode, we dive into how Koshin became a Zen monk, what he meant by junk pleasure, the eightfold path of Buddhism, the consequences of actions, the three giants, the importance of words, and more. Most of the time people are looking for quick relief from the pain they are suffering. Koshin defines it as junk pleasure. We find some quick relief but the pain, and the suffering stays as same before. According to him, the quick relief or pleasure is not either deeply nourishing or pleasurable in the long term. Sometimes self-isolation could be a good thing, but most of the time, it will negatively affect your life. It will make you miss the beauty of the world and the beauty of the people around you. [01.36] Becoming a Zen Monk – Starting the conversation, Koshin dives into how he was inspired to be a Zen monk while visiting his grandfather when he was little and his journey to become a Zen monk. [13.55] Meaning, connection, and importance – Koshin talks about how his fears held him from experiencing new things and how he felt once he started to experience new things. [20.56] Connecting to the world – Meditation can be used to avoid being connected to the world. But if you allow yourself to connect to the world, you will see the beauty of it. [29.52] The eightfold path – Koshin dives into what it means by the eightfold path in Buddhism and how it can be used to make a wise and compassionate lifestyle. [42.02] The fantasy of control – We normally have the fantasy of control because we don't know what to say or to do in difficult situations. Koshin dives into what we can do in such difficult situations. [50.12] The path between – Koshin talks about the path between getting beyond and getting intimate. According to him, getting beyond means learning how everything around you matters, and getting intimate does not only mean sex. It is the real connectedness, sensuality, and tenderness of being alive. [01.07.24] The three giants – Koshin addresses greed, anger, and delusion as the three giants and how these three aspects affect people's lives. [01.15.51] Importance of words – Words are powerful. We have to be careful when we are choosing words to speak to someone. Koshin shares his attitude about identifying the right time to talk.[01.28.58] The Dark is Rising – A fantasy novel series by Susan Cooper. ResourcesUntangled: Walking the Eightfold Path to Clarity, Courage, and Compassionby Koshin Paley Ellison: goodreads.com/book/show/60568473-untangled Connect with Koshin: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/zencare/ linkedin.com/company/new-york-zen-center-for-contemplative-care/ Website: zencare.org Instagram: instagram.com/koshinpaleyellison/YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCniG6fajMVO-VkRmKBesYnw 

Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison has devoted his life to the study and application of psychotherapy and Buddhism. As a young, gay kid dealing with abuse and discrimination, he forged a path towards healing and inner strength through the discovery of Zen teachings. Through his current work, he is able to guide others to discover clarity, courage, and compassion. In this episode, we discuss the superpower of becoming free when we learn how to be still with our pain, how society pushes us into the narrow track of “normal”, and asking ourselves what our own wisdom says we need.

If you look at social media with its reliance on meme-based psychology, you'd think that the Buddhist approach to life is to not let things get to you - that the true spiritual path helps you rise above such limited, unenlightened human feelings like grief, greed, and resentment. Zen teacher Koshin Paley Ellison is here to tell you that your suffering deserves your attention.  In this episode we cover:    How an experience of targeted violence shaped Koshin's childhood, and what it's taught him about the suffering of others Why it's healthier to spend time in the “life is suffering” part of the 4 Noble Truths, rather than rushing to the other 3 as solutions How to work with the pain and the suffering in your own life, so that it doesn't fester and cause more harm Why going to the furniture store looking for milk is only going to lead to disappointment Koshin's new book, Untangled: Walking the Eightfold Path to Clarity, Courage, and Compassion   Notable quotes:  “That's why those very powerful giants of greed and resentment and delusion are so important. Tell me about how those things affect you, and I'll tell you how they affect "Only then can we get really real.” - Koshin Paley Ellison   “You'll never be free until you can be still with your pain.” - Koshin Paley Ellison   “We're in such a habit of managing the feelings instead of naming the experience.” - Megan Devine About our guest:   Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison is an author, Zen teacher, and Jungian psychotherapist who has devoted his life to the study and application of psychotherapy and Buddhism. Koshin co-founded the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care, with his husband Chodo Robert Campbell, to transform the culture of care through contemplative practice by meeting illness, aging, and death with compassion and wisdom.

Today's guest on The Big Silence is Koshin Paley Ellison. He has devoted his life to the study and application of psychotherapy and Buddhism. He's an author, a practicing monk, and the co-founder, alongside his husband, of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care. Connecting on our Ukrainian roots, and shared resulting generational trauma (like we heard about last week with Minaa B.), Koshin highlights the other, more positive side of the same coin – epigenetic courage. It's a great way to flip the narrative, that we may experience pain, at times in part, at the hands of, or alongside, someone we love – but that the strength within that same person, which was passed onto us, has a hand in our ability to overcome it all. Putting a poetic spin on the thought-feeling-action matrix, Koshin explains that the brain's main job is to interpret – that if you're in a negative headspace, you will end up interpreting things in the same way you have been interpreting them thus far. He offers an easy question-asking practice to help us move into positive spirals and avoid the false promises of negative thinking. We also chat about his new book, coming out in November, called Untangled, how his grandma inspired his healing center and what's practiced there, and welcome in some familiar conversational themes – trauma and death, to get a monk's point of view on these complex realities. Similarly, and as you might expect, his meditation advice hits a little different toward the end of our conversation.  Celebrate World Mental Health Day with The Big Silence at Slate Theory Winery for mental health talks, meditation, music, and wine! http://www.thebigsilence.com/Events (www.TheBigSilence.com/Events) Resources: Zencare Website: https://zencare.org/sensei-koshin-paley-ellison/ (zencare.org/sensei-koshin-paley-ellison) Read: https://www.amazon.com/Untangled-Walking-Eightfold-Clarity-Compassion/dp/1538708302 (Untangled: Walking the Eightfold Path to Clarity, Courage, and Compassion) Learn at Zencare: https://zencare.org/education-new/contemplative-medicine-fellowship/ (Contemplative Medicine Fellowship) Follow Koshin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/koshinpaleyellison/?hl=en (@koshinpaleyellison) Read: https://thebigsilence.com/pages/memoir (The Big Silence: A Daughter's Memoir of Mental Illness and Healing)  Follow Karena Dawn on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karenadawn (@karenadawn) Follow The Big Silence on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/The.Big.Silence (@The.Big.Silence) Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuKGS6i7GBq_Ydyj3jGO_fA (The Big Silence YouTube Channel) Donate to The Big Silence http://www.thebigsilence.com/donate (thebigsilence.com/donate) to be a part of the movement to break the silence and make noise with us! “The Big Silence” theme song written and performed by https://www.instagram.com/jamesnicholaskinney/ (James Nicholas Kinney).
