LETTING GO OF THE PERSON YOU USED TO BE Lama Surya Das
For many people, recent years have been characterized by profound changes, whether they relate to financial upheavals, political shifts, or disease and violence. Even on the personal level, each person must confront the curves life throws his or her way. Buddhism has a great deal to say about change and impermanence and how to deal meaningfully with them. Change - whether on a large or small scale - provides our most important opportunity for learning about ourselves and the nature of reality. From this essential insight, Lama Surya Das has crafted a path to understanding and healing ourselves in this troubled world. Through his reflections, use of personal stories, anecdotes, practical exercises and guided meditations, he addresses life’s most universal difficulties in a profound way that is accessible to all.
