219 - You Are Good, You Are Enough
Thursday, 2 April, 2026
In this episode, I talk to Lodro Rinzler about his book, You Are Good, You Are Enough, which explores the Buddhist concept of basic goodness. We discuss how life's experiences can cover our inherent wholeness with "clay"—conditioning and societal messages—leading us to believe we are lacking. The core teaching is that we don't need to add anything to become whole; we need to peel away the layers to reveal the "gold" that's already there. Key takeaways include understanding that the nagging voice of self-doubt doesn't have to drive our actions, and that meditation, or gom, is about becoming familiar with our true nature, not just stress relief. This message is particularly relevant today, offering a powerful counterpoint to a culture that often profits from our sense of inadequacy, and encouraging us to see this inherent goodness not only in ourselves but in others as well.https://amzn.to/4s9kC92https://www.lodrorinzler.com/youaregoodExplore more at eightfoldpath.com: full transcripts, guided meditations, courses, and Noah AI, an AI you can chat with about any episode or teaching.
