With Susan as a friend and guide, we will look at traditional teachings like the four noble truths and the six paramitas–but not from an academic standpoint. Rather, we will talk about how to make it all personal and relevant in everyday life. This podcast is not about Buddhist doctrine. It’s about how anyone can bring the profound wisdom of the dharma into their real life: at home, at work, and in love. The foundation for it all is meditation as a spiritual practice, not the latest life hack. Let’s go beyond the science and celebrity testimonials to discover the true power of meditation which is not based in self-improvement but in self-discovery.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-18T16:19:14.052192+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/buddhism-beyond-belief-with-susan-piver-7581346"},"episode":{"title":"Three Ways to Work With Heartbreak: Part One","slug":"three-ways-to-work-with-heartbreak-part-one","published_at":"2026-08-14T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/buddhism-beyond-belief-with-susan-piver-7581346/three-ways-to-work-with-heartbreak-part-one","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/buddhism-beyond-belief-with-susan-piver-7581346","url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456053/episodes/19644119-three-ways-to-work-with-heartbreak-part-one.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456053/episodes/19644119-three-ways-to-work-with-heartbreak-part-one.mp3","summary":"Send us Fan Mail Heartbreak is something we have the tendency to want to get rid of as quickly as possible. But some heartbreaks cannot be “fixed” or hurried. In this episode, I look at how Buddhist teachings can help us when heartbreak has a life of its own. We start with the mind: learning to be with what is happening rather than trying to change it. Meditation is a way to let the mind settle naturally in times of emotional upheaval.
