Challenge How We Cling | August 8, 2014
When Buddhism says, 'It's an illusion,
it's empty,' I think back to when Ignatius said, 'Your self—that's your
problem. You have to conquer self, kill the self.' It's that tradition,
both in Christianity and in Buddhism, in which we are challenged to let
go of what is so comfortable and what we cling to as who we are, if
we're going to open ourselves to reality and truth.
-Jerry Brown, “Politics and Prayer”
