Anam Thubten, a Tibetan Buddhist teacher and founder of the Dharmata Foundation, speaks in this talk about our impulse to freedom, a spiritual impulse he describes as a deep longing bigger than any other desire.
A note from Sean
Try this today. Notice one small want today: a snack, a scroll, a reply. Before you act, pause for three breaths and feel the wanting in your body. Then choose. You don’t have to say no. Just see the want first.
Keep going: From Difficulties To Freedom and more teachings from Anam Thubten.
This suits anyone who feels a pull toward something deeper than everyday wants. If the longing brings sadness, grief, or restlessness, go gently. Stop when you need to.
