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.

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
