ZC 2170: Tricycle Wednesday - Taking the Ache out of Attachment

What happens when our desire to enjoy something becomes a need to hold on to it? In today’s episode, we explore Venerable Thubten Chodron’s Tricycle article, “Taking the Ache Out of Attachment,” and the ways clinging to people, possessions, and expectations can disturb our peace. Through thoughtful reflection on change and the stories we tell ourselves about happiness, we discover how loosening our grip allows us to appreciate what we have, cultivate compassion, and meet life with greater balance.

ZC 2169: Airport Zendo

An airport might seem like an unlikely place to find stillness, but meditation doesn’t require a quiet room or perfect conditions. In today’s episode, we explore how the bustle of travel can become an invitation to practice—listening to the sounds around us, noticing our reactions, and returning gently to the present moment. Whether we’re waiting at a gate or sitting at home, we can meet what’s happening with awareness and discover that a place to practice is wherever we happen to be.
