The Shenpa Syndrome
September 9th, 2007
Is a Tibetan word usually translated as “attachment” but described by Pema Chödrön as an ineffable situation where one is “hooked” by an emotional trigger or by an pervasive state such as an addiction. I find this concept of Buddhist psychology very insightful as a way of learning “to roll with the punches” of life.
Meditation can be helpful in learning to “free” oneself from Shenpa.
