Ram Dass answers questions from an audience surrounding attachment, addiction and relationships.

Ram Dass on Attachment & Addiction

This talk from Roshi Joan Halifax looks at reversing the dynamic of the defended heart, and finding strength in vulnerability. 

Roshi reflects on:

- How our practice can confirm our inherent strength to uphold ourselves in the midst of any conditions. 
- To practice or realize fundamental equanimity and stay absolutely tender hearted. 
- "We are plagued by fear--fear in the experience of a separate and solid self. Which we need to define and defend."
- At times even our own spirituality can be put out there as a defense.
- Love is a meltdown that re-establishes a more unified base of brilliance goodness and sadness.
