Live with that knowledge next time you want to be a dick. Live with that knowledge when I cling to things. Keep practicing, letting go, letting go, not clinging, not obsessing, not grinding, not pressing, not, you know.
What if the key to a more peaceful life lies in letting go? In this episode of 'The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast', host Darren Littlejohn dives into the fourth practice from the 37 Practices of the Bodhisattva, focusing on the art of letting go.
