He’s also the author of 6 other meditation books including The Buddha Walks into a Bar and Love Hurts. Lodro has several meditations on the Muse app and has been teaching meditation in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition for 20 years. Whether inside or outside of meditation, it’s best not to chase after the thoughts that create strong emotions and anxiety. This is often considered the ‘second arrow’ and is filled with the ongoing stories we tell ourselves. This can be like throwing fuel on a fire.
