Episode Description from the Publisher

"Nothing Is Ours" is a Dharma talk and brief guided meditation that asks the question: What if we have nothing to lose because nothing was ever truly ours to keep?In this talk, we explore one of the Buddha's most liberating teachings: the relationship between impermanence, attachment, and our illusion of ownership.From our possessions and relationships to our bodies and even our sense of self, everything we cherish is subject to change. But recognizing this doesn't mean that nothing matters, that we should love less, or that loss shouldn't hurt. Quite the opposite.Drawing on the Buddha's teachings on not-self, craving, and the two arrows of suffering, we explore the difference between loving and possessing, caring and clinging, and the freedom that comes from holding life with an open hand.I hope you'll find some benefit in this talk and that you will enjoy your time here!https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com
