This episode explores a compelling Buddhist question: does self-hatred, or self-love, make sense if the self is an illusion? Matthew Brensilver, PhD, is a clinical social worker and experienced teacher of meditation retreats. He also worked at an organization called Mindful Schools, which teaches teachers how to teach meditation.  This episode also explores: how and why to view your anger with skepticism the relationship between self-love and personal ethics what to do if you think you're a good person but have no interest in changing your behavior to get better how to handle a nagging sense of moral un-justifiability and how Matthew has arrived at a place of relative peace with his own mortality.

A crucial (and often misunderstood) concept in Buddhism: letting go.For this episode, Executive Producer DJ Cashmere interviewed a trio of brilliant Dharma teachers to get their advice about how to handle surrendering or letting go. This is the fourth in a series of 'correspondent' episodes, in which DJ identifies a pain point in his life and meditation practice, then goes out into the world to report on the best ways to address it.Kaira Jewel Lingo is a former nun in the Plum Village tradition started by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. Vinny Ferraro teaches at the Insight Meditation Society and Spirit Rock, and also in prisons. Matthew Brensilver teaches at many of the same retreat centers, and spent many years working in the field of addiction pharmacotherapy.*Find the Soft Belly Meditation here *Check out Sebene Selassie's website and newsletter, Ancestor to Elements.
