Befriending Our Habits | TWOII podcast | Episode #44

In the first podcast recording of 2023, the presenters – Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and journalist Jo Confino – discuss habits, both the positive ones that help us lead better lives, but also those that can cause us harm and make our lives difficult. Both presenters share negative and positive habits, and the difficulties of transformation.  Can you guess the negative habit both presenters have in common? And how can we transform our negative habits and bring more positive habits into our lives? Is it possible to truly transform at the base? How important is friendship in facing our habits? Also, what is ‘shining light’ and how can this Plum Village practice help us?  Brother Phap Huu shares on the topic of the most recent practice of shining the light during the annual Rains Retreat; rushing energy; generosity; dealing with inferiority complexes and accepting ourselves; folding clothes; mirroring each other’s transformation of habits; the interbeing of the community; and collective awakening through individuals’ positive habits. And what did Thich Nhat Hanh mean by “happiness is a habit”? Jo delves into shining the light for lay practitioners; seeing the best in people and watering people’s positive flowers; cultivating awareness; speed, chasing deadlines, and rushing as a way of life; inherited habits; fear of humiliation; and the interbeing of complexes. And what happens when you look deeply at just one bad habit? The episode ends with a short meditation guided by Brother Phap Huu. ------- Timestamps: 00:00:00 Intro 00:02:35 What Inspired This Topic 00:05:35 The Energy of Rushing 00:11:30 Impatience 00:15:35 Positive Habits 00:22:36 The Difficulties of Transforming Habits 00:29:04 Adding New Good Habits to Daily Routine 00:32:41 Potential Causes of Failing at Changing Habits 00:35:12 Interbeing and How to Get to the Base of Things and Transform Habits 00:42:57 No Mud, No Lotus 00:47:20 Daring and Acting for Transformation at the Base 00:59:27 Good Friends and Shining the Light 1:15:45 The Individual and the Collective, Changing Habits as a Society 1:26:22 Short Guided Meditation 1:31:20 Outro ------ 🎧 Listen to previous episodes on YouTube ➛ http://pvapp.to/twoii-episodes ------- 🔔 The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living is a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh’s deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. 🔔 ------- The podcast is co-produced by the Plum Village App: https://plumvillage.app/ And Global Optimism: https://globaloptimism.com/ With support from the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation: https://thichnhathanhfoundation.org/ ------- 🎧 Listen to the podcast on the (completely free) Plum Village App ➛ https://web.plumvillage.app/talks/the... and other streaming services. ------- Resources: Plum Village Community ➛ https://plumvillage.org/ Thich Nhat Hanh ➛ https://plumvillage.org/about/thich-n... 🎙️ Brother Phap Huu ➛ https://plumvillage.org/people/dharma... 🎙️ Jo Confino ➛   / joconfino   ‘Shining the Light’ ➛ https://www.parallax.org/mindfulnessb...
