In society, we often seek something or someone to blame for our problems. Whether it’s ourselves, others, or external circumstances, the list of potential culprits is endless. However, the thoughts that arise when we point the finger are often negative, leaving us feeling unhappy and discouraged. This episode explores a different perspective on blame—how shifting our understanding of what’s truly responsible for our struggles can help us break free from negativity and find greater peace of mind. By clearly identifying the source, we can liberate ourselves from the weight of blame and its harmful effects. Based on the book How to Transform Your Life by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
