5 Ways To Get Over Yourself | Pascal Auclair

À propos de cet épisode

<p>The phrase, "Get over yourself" is often used in a flippant way, but it's actually speaking to a deep human need to get out of our heads and off our own backs. At a fundamental level, this is what Buddhism is all about— seeing through the illusion of the self, which can be the source of so much of our suffering. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>In this episode guest Pascal Auclair talks about how we can unlock this suffering through the use of a foundational Buddhist list called the five aggregates. </p> <p><br /></p> <p>Pascal Auclair has been immersed in Buddhist practice and study since 1997.
