'''Waiting for Karma''' is | '''Waiting for Karma''' is a program Joe Frank produced as part of the series [[The Other Side (Series)|The Other Side]]. It was originally broadcast on October 5, [[:Category:2000|2000]]. | ||
== Synopsis == | |||
Larry explains that he feels uncomfortable if he eats when he's sober | |||
because the food he likes is so bad for him, he'd feel guilty eating | |||
it if he were sober. Joe points out that alcohol is bad for him too. | |||
He'd only ride his motorcycle when he was drunk because it seemed so | |||
dangerous. He woke up in the hospital at UCLA after a ride | |||
5:50: Jack Kornfield reads a poem from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabir Kabir] about how he keeps | |||
grasping one thing after another, then tells us about | |||
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evagrius_Ponticus Evagrius, a desert monk of the fourth century], | |||
the demons he battled. | |||
8:00: Larry tells Joe that Zach told him he was going to smoke | |||
grass.<ref>Larry tells a similar story in [[At Last]]</ref> | |||
10:30: Kornfield talks about the problems with desire, that we always | |||
want more, that we have to learn to deal with it in order not to | |||
succumb to it. | |||
16:30: Zach mixes music from 20 sources; Joe thinks it's cacophonous; | |||
Larry disagrees. | |||
19:00: Kornfield tells [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasrudin Nasrudin]'s | |||
story of the old man who went looking for something new. | |||
Nasrudin stole his bag, took a shortcut, put his bag on the road - the man was happy when he | |||
found his bag, illustrating Kornfield's lesson that what matters is | |||
not what we have but how we relate to it. | |||
== Synopsis = | 21:40: Kristine McKenna tells about a friend who was stressed out from | ||
the work being done on her kitchen floor; Kristine thinks this is a | |||
small matter, but that each person's troubles are big to them. She | |||
says her natural state is troubled and melancholy. She and Joe | |||
speculate that distressing external events can distract people from | |||
their personal problems. She tells us what Leonard Cohen has to say | |||
about it. | |||
28:00: Kornfield talks about the 'great doubt': how can we live our | |||
lives from the deepest place of our heart. | |||
29:50: Larry recalls the summer camp he attended as a boy. He wanted | |||
to belong to the camp's Sanhedrin (apparently it was Jewish) but was | |||
never remarkable enough. He describes the ritual of induction to the | |||
Sanhedrin in detail. | |||
41:40: Kornfield tells a Nasrudin story about looking for his key | |||
outside even though he lost it inside because the light's better | |||
outside as an illustration of people who look for happiness by looking | |||
on the outside rather than the inside. | |||
44:20: Kornfield tells another Nasrudin story. He tries to cash a | |||
check at the bank. The teller wants him to identify himself, so | |||
Nasrudin pulls out a mirror and looks at himself, confirms his | |||
identity. | |||
45:30: Larry tells a joke about 2 guys at Spago, they scope a | |||
beautiful woman. | |||
46:10: Larry tells a joke about the actor who comes home to find out | |||
that his agent killed his wife, the guy is happy that his agent came | |||
to visit him. | |||
48:40: Kornfield tells us that Buddha means awake, that we can | |||
cultivate being awake, that we have to deal with the world the way | |||
that it is. He tells the Zen joke about the 2 monks, one of whom | |||
helps a woman across a river. He expatiates on avoiding distraction. | |||
57:20: Debi calls. She started to cry while she was on hold, has been | |||
crying all day. She grew up with lies, wonders what lies she's still | |||
living with. | |||
