- 5 Buddhist Teachings to Let Go of What Still Hurts You | Daily Dharma Light Why do we hold on so tightly to the things that hurt us? 💔 We mistake "clinging" for control, fearing that letting go means losing everything. But in truth, clinging is like trying to grasp smoke with bare hands—the tighter you squeeze, the more exhausted you become. The Buddha taught: "The root of suffering is attachment." In this video, we walk together through 5 Profound Lessons of Wisdom to learn the art of the "Open Hand" and find true freedom: 5 Steps to Release Invisible Burdens: - The Nature of Suffering (Dukkha) 🔗: Understand that Suffering = Pain x Resistance. Stop pulling the rough rope that burns your hands. - Impermanence (Anicca) ⏳: Embrace the truth that "This too shall pass." Change is not the enemy; it is the key to liberation. - Non-Attachment 🖐️: Learn to love like holding sand in an open palm—cherishing without possessing or controlling. - Compassion & Forgiveness 🔥: Drop the "hot coal" of resentment. Forgive others and, most importantly, forgive your younger self. - Mindful Presence 🧘: Return to the Home of the Now. The present moment is the only place where peace exists. Letting go doesn't mean losing; it means opening your hands to receive the new life waiting for you. May this video bring you warmth and the courage to release what no longer serves you. 🙏 #ArtOfLettingGo #BuddhistWisdom #InnerPeace #HealingJourney #NonAttachment #Forgiveness #Mindfulness #Impermanence #SpiritualGrowth #SelfCompassion
