Why We Suffer: Understanding the Buddha's Teachings on Attachment

“You could say on one level the whole of the Buddhist message is to let go.” In this Tricycle Dharma Talk, Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo leads us through the Eight Worldly Concerns—which we might also call the eight anxieties or “hang-ups.” Overcoming our anxieties about these worldly concerns lets us find our true purpose in life and our innate perfection.
