People love to quote the Buddha, but rarely implement his teachings to their lives.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">The Buddha\u2019s teachings, also known as Dharma, are altruistic, loving, compassionate and transformative. However, it also requires an authentic teacher and serious commitment by the practitioner.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">\u201cIt\u2019s you that has to do the work\u201d<\/span><\/b><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Often when I\u2019m presenting the Dharma (the teachings of the Buddha), inmates are shocked to hear, the Buddha is not our saviour.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">We often hold the view that someone will save us, like a doctor, a psychologist or life partner from ourselves and bad habits. \u201cIt\u2019s you that has to do the work\u201d, I explain.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">I\u2019ve been using Mindfulness-based Therapy as a prison chaplain for over 5 years and I honestly think I\u2019ve heard it all. The work I do is to support, motivate and encourage inmates to do better. In a private, confidential and safe space inmates can offload and share their life story.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">It\u2019s to a chaplain, that one can express their deepest trauma or regret and have it heard with an open heart. No judgment and no shame.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Reoffending behaviour happens because we don\u2019t know our habits, our attachments and desires. We go about living life thinking, this is how it\u2019s meant to be.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;\">\u201cDid you know there\u2019s another way to live?\u201d<\/span><\/b><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">As a Therapist and Buddhist chaplain I am committed to reducing reoffending behaviour by helping inmates understand the key skills needed for emotional processing, healing and growth.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Through the deep and positive teachings of the Buddha inmates learn about the nature of the mind and begin to take control of their lives.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">We need to know ourselves, the nature of the mind and become aware of our negativity and positivity.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">When I ask an inmate, \u201cdid you know there\u2019s another way to live?\u201d, they often tell me no.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Meditation is the way to bring about mental stability.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Most of us live our lives recalling the past and fantasising about the future. Who wants to be in the moment when you\u2019re in a prison? It\u2019s our mind that\u2019s usually the prison.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">You don\u2019t have to be in a prison to feel imprisoned.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Bringing about mental stability allows us to reflect and contemplate. It\u2019s from this mind we can invoke a healthy feeling of regret and remorse for past negative actions. Only then can we commit never to do them again.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Today, some would argue the Buddha was the world\u2019s best cognitive therapist. Witnessing positive change over and over again, I would tend to agree!<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
