About this episode
One of the most essential teachings of the Buddha can be found in a single and famous line of advise from him, which is, " Be a lamp unto yourself; be a refuge to yourself; take yourself to no external refuge ." In this new talk, we take a deep dive into the Acrobat Sutra, a story and teaching that points to the importance of caring for yourself FIRST, by becoming the source of your own refuge - which in turn transforms into an offering of care for others. It includes a meditation at the end.
