We are delighted to share the recording of Episode 19 of Vibe with Venerables, where we get to talk “live” to Buddhist masters together.  

In this episode of Vibe with Venerables, Venerable Thubten Chodron discusses the concept of boundless joy. Venerable Chodron reflects on what prevents joy, such as envy and jealousy, and encourages acceptance and peace.

Venerable Chodron emphasizes the importance to rejoice in others’ happiness and to let go of jealousy, a painful emotion. She shares personal anecdotes about her own struggles with jealousy and how recognizing its presence helps in overcoming it.

This episode includes an opening prayer of refuge and cultivating the four immeasurables, and concludes with a meditation and a dedication to the awakened state of Guru Buddha, aiming to liberate all sentient beings from suffering.
