Everyday Buddhism 22 - Release Your Cows




Everyday Buddhism: Making Everyday Better show

Summary: In a listener-requested podcast I relate how the story of releasing cows from Thich Nhat Hanh’s book "No Mud, No Lotus: The Art of Transforming Suffering", helped me find freedom from suffering over a series of minor personal losses and disappointments. We each have "cows" we're grasping onto. According to Thich Nhat Hanh, our biggest "cows" are our narrow ideas of happiness. We continue to suffer until we are able to release the very ideas themselves.
