Have you ever felt like you’re the only person in a crowded room? Like you’re surrounded by people, but still feel a sense of isolation?
Buddhism says that thinking we’re all separate is just us being delusional. This delusion is one of the “Three Poisons” that keep us stuck in a cycle of suffering, or Samsara. So, the way out is to break down that illusion and see that we’re all interconnected.
So, what if that lonely feeling is actually a sign? A nudge to look deeper and see how we’re all connected? That’s what we’re diving into today: Loneliness, Love, and Human Connection, all from a Buddhist perspective.
Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison, is a renowned thought leader, author, Zen teacher, and Jungian psychotherapist. Koshin co-founded the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care. He’s also the author of, “Untangled: Walking the Eightfold Path to Clarity, Courage, and Compassion.”
