Everyone has the potential for enlightenment according to Venerable René Feusi 🙏🏻

15/07/2025

It turns out that many of the greatest living Buddhist teachers are also some of the hardest to receive teachings from. Lacking ego, they have no need to promote themselves. This is the case with Scott’s closest teacher, Venerable René Feusi. 🙏

Out of a wish to maintain his solitude and focus on long-term students—and probably mostly out of humility—Venerable René has always declined Scott’s invitations to appear on this podcast. But last year he gave a public talk at Tse Chen Ling Center in San Francisco on the benefits of concentrated awareness. We asked him if we could share it here, and he said yes! 🥳

So here’s Venerable René Feusi on how focused awareness can help us live with joy, not just in formal meditation, but while walking, sipping tea, listening to music, or even playing with your cat. 🐱Listen today by clicking the link in our bio!

This week's podcast episode is a 20 minute guided meditation comes from the sequence Scott shares in the How to Train a Happy Mind podcast and book. The stages are based on the Tibetan Buddhist lamrim, which was created more than a thousand years ago by the Indian Master Atisha Dipankar.

Over the past decade, Scott has adapted it to be a non-religious way to transform the mind from states of frustration, craving, and loneliness to states of satisfaction, connection, and meaning.

Scott leads live meditations like this every Sunday in our Train a Happy Mind community, which you can join for free or by donation. There's also an archive there of over 100 meditations he's led for the community over the past two years.

Instead of the episode we had planned to share today, a meditation from Tenzin Chogkyi as part of her beautiful conversation on joy, we're postponing that release by a week. In its place, we thought it was important to share this meditation Scott Snibbe led just a couple of days ago with our Train a Happy Mind community.

This meditation was recorded the day after the United States launched a new bombing campaign in Iran. In response, Scott reflects on the roots of violence, both in our world and in our minds, and to offer a path toward peace influenced by Tibetan Buddhism. Listen today 🪷

Today's episode is Joy and Enthusiasm—Even When Life’s Hard—with Tenzin Chogkyi #194! 😍 Tenzin Chogkyi is one of our most popular guests, and she’s back to talk about another one of the six perfections that we’ve been talking with other guests about this year. This one is enthusiasm or joyful effort. She talks about not just the Buddhist ideas of enthusiasm, but how to maintain our joy and enthusiasm in life when things are difficult or even when we get too much of a good thing.
