About this Episode

Arinna 25:51: “Why contemplate anicca, anicca, and the vicissitudes of life? Because, in the acknowledgment that everything is changing, and that we can’t hold on […] When we allow nature to be be as it is — ourselves included — then that frees up ourselves from the constriction of ownership into a relationship of seeing ourselves and understanding ourselves as precious and sacred.”

Quotes from:

Marc Ian Barasch “Field Notes on the Compassionate Life”

“Reflections on Impermanence: Life of Chagkar. A Book of Teachings by the 18th Century Wandering Tibetan Yogi”
