Clinging to the Story of Life: Buddhist Dharma Talk with Anna Vanhoy

"Things, if clung to, are suffering, or are a source of suffering.” -Buddha
The First Noble Truth teaches that suffering exists in life and that this suffering is due to clinging to things, ideas, and habits. We practice noticing when we are clinging within our lives, but are we aware of the experience of clinging to the story of life itself? Do we have a clear sense of what our story of “life” is?
