The Buddha's teachings on the self view offer a way to come out of the constriction of excessive self protection to a more open hearted sense of ease and freedom. Day in and day out we expend enormous amounts of our vital energy defending, protecting and building up an illusory sense of ourselves. This obscures our inherent freedom, goodness and love.
Sitting and walking in silence, we will shift from living from our egoic views to noticing them with clarity and kindness. We can all experience the freedom of an undefended heart. |
