Welcome back to the Line podcast. My name is Aaron Alexander. This is a place that we bring together the world's leading experts in all things health and wellness to help you optimize your mind, body, and movement.

Today's conversation is something I've been really excited to learn more about and also share about, and that is the fundamental principles of Buddhism and also mindfulness and meditation.

But the big thing I was really excited about was breaking down some of the deep philosophy

of Buddhism and how we can integrate some of those principles into our daily lives.

So the guest today is world-renowned meditation teacher, Manash Diaz. He is the author of Still

Together. He is the founder of Open, which is a global meditation app. And I've personally

gotten a lot of use out of it myself. And so super excited to get to get into this conversation.

He was raised under the

Taravadan Buddhist traditions and in this conversation we essentially

break down the eightfold path to ending suffering. Also the four noble truths

which is essentially is like a synopsis of what is suffering, why does it

exist, where has it come from,

and how do we sort that out in our lives? So get your notepad out. I personally use the one on

my cell phone and do a little note app. And I think this is a highly shareable, highly

note-takeable episode. Just getting into being able to sit with these four noble truths and then

also getting into the eightfold path to ending suffering I think each point is invaluable I think

this is an incredibly pertinent and relevant episode for I mean really any person any person with a body. And I'm excited to share

it. So let's get to it with my guy, Minaj Diaz. And also, if you want to go deeper into

meditation, start a practice yourself. You can utilize the app open. You can also grab his

books still together. And he also has really lovely stuff on social media.

So that is it.

That is all.
