195. Buddhist teacher Andy Karr’s “Into the Mirror,” with Waylon Lewis.

Waylon speaks with Andy Karr, author of Into the Mirror, his new book on Buddhism and our everyday life. "There's a dominant narrative in society...that it's all about stuff. Either stuff to accumulate, knowledge as stuff—whatever you think is the cause of happiness. And what happens is that not all of these things are bad, but that the ignorance of what's happening in your mind when you crave these things is binding you, and deceiving you. You have this thought or this projection or this vision of the thing itself—and we spend all our time chasing after these reflections, or running away from reflections if they're fearful. And if we're caught up in this the reflections are never going to be satisfactory, on the simplest level." ~ Andy Karr Subscribers get the full conversation.
