Buddha’s View of the Mind is Entirely Practical - a podcast by Venerable Robina Courtin

Buddha presents a very direct, counter-intuitive way of addressing our own suffering. He asks us to look at how we cling to the ego when under pressure, thinking “It’s not my fault.” That closed-off attitude is what propels us into a spiral of blame, dissatisfaction and aching attachment. The irony is that if you let go of ego and the attachments and cravings cease. They are not an intrinsic part of your being and can be removed.
