A Buddhist Antidote To Fear And Anxiety | Devin Berry
Manage episode 431568009 series 172966
The two practices that helped turn this self described scowling, sarcastic skeptic into an expert meditator
Since 1999, Devin Berry has been a dedicated meditation practitioner, his practice is deeply rooted in the metta and vipassana teachings of the Insight Meditation tradition. He spent nearly five years in silent, intensive retreats, cultivating his practice and understanding. Devin is deeply committed to the personal and collective liberation of marginalized communities, believing that integrating reflection and insight leads to clarity and wisdom, which in turn fosters wise action.
Devin is a dharma teacher at Spirit Rock and the Insight Meditation Society (IMS), where he serves as a guiding teacher. He also shares his teachings through Sounds True and at various sanghas and centers across the country.
In this episode we talk about:
- Why mindfulness alone is not enough
- How metta is part of four related mental skills, called the brahma viharas—and how to practice those
- The story of how and why the Buddha invented the Metta practice.
- The role and practice of Dana – generosity.
- Devin’s year long Metta/Dana experiment
- And lastly, how these practices can help us on and off the cushion
