Letting Go of Our Expectations

David Oromith · 36 minutes · recorded October 16, 2022

This week's meditation is an inquiry practice: we move through the body's earth, water, fire and air elements, asking whether any sensation is stable, pleasant or truly ours. David talks about expectation as the foundation of failure, the advice the Dalai Lama once gave his own teacher. He distinguishes wholesome aspiration from attachment, and explains how gratitude and contentment let expectation fall away.
